Mary Patricia “Pat” MacLeod (nee Patterson) age 96, passed away peacefully at home in Dartmouth on March 13 2021. She was the daughter of George E. & Loretta S. (Purcell) Patterson; grand-daughter of Alexander “Sandy” & Alice (Stevens) Patterson of Dartmouth & Wellington and Christopher & Susan (Sadler) Purcell of Portuguese Cove, NS.
Pat was born in 1924 and grew up in Downtown Dartmouth where she made many lifelong friends, including Marjorie Annand, as well as those who she sadly outlived, including Marion Sliming and Helen Woods. She started working at the Dartmouth Ship Yard Canteen in 1940 at the age of 16. She met her husband, George MacLeod of Rockley, NS, and they married at Christ Church in Dartmouth Nov 1955.
We have many cherished childhood memories of summer travels and camping, only to find out years later that Mom actually hated camping. Mom survived a hot air balloon crash while visiting family in Winnipeg. Her first and last ballooning adventure. She moved to Victoria with Mary Belle and family in 1997, where she enjoyed whale watching and having High Tea at The Empress Hotel.
She was a long time parishioner of Christ Church, Dartmouth and most recently St Andrew’s Anglican Church, Locks Rd., Dartmouth, where she enjoyed faith and community. She especially cherished the dear friendship of Edy Guy-Francois.
She was predeceased by her husband George (1991); brothers Doug and Bob and sisters Hazel Gammon, Margaret Shiers, Alice McClelland and Kathleen (Kay) VanLeeuwen.
She is survived, and will be forever missed, by her 3 daughters; Mary Belle Hann (Scott Hann), Helen MacLeod and Susan MacLeod (Jane Spurr); grandson Jeffrey (Terri) Hann and great-grandson Logan Hann; brothers Bert of Lake Charlotte, George (Doris) of Oromocto, NB and many nieces & nephews.
Special Thanks to the VON & Palliative Care/Home care for their support in keeping Mom comfortable at home.
Graveside only service will take place at Christ Church Cemetery. Donations, in Mom’s memory, may be made to St Andrew’s Anglican Church, 8 Locks Rd, Dartmouth, NS www.standrewsdartmouth.ca
