Obituary
Charlotte MacKenzie
River Ryan/Antigonish
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Charlotte Marie MacKenzie on February 15th, 2022. Born in New Waterford on April 8, 1937, Charlotte was the daughter of the late Frederick and Mildred (Boutilier) MacKenzie of River Ryan. Charlotte passed away peacefully with her daughter by her side, at St. Martha’s Regional Hospital, Antigonish, NS.
Charlotte was happiest when she was with family and enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, especially telling stories of family and growing up in New Waterford. Grandma, as she was lovingly called, was proud of all their accomplishments and was grateful to meet her great grandchildren, Gordon and Angus, who enjoyed her special cookies. Charlotte is remembered for her work at St. Michael’s Elementary School as a yard supervisor as well as a hair stylist at St Agnes Convent. Charlotte enjoyed spending time with her friends at Casino NS in Sydney. She would often tell us about each one of them until we felt like we knew them ourselves.
Charlotte is survived by her daughter Laurie Boucher (Jacques) Antigonish, son-in-law Paul MacDonald; grandchildren Meaghan (Chris) MacDonald-Gaughan Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, Daniel Boucher Halifax, Michel Boucher Halifax, and Émilie Boucher Cornwall, PEI; great grandsons Gordon and Angus Gaughan Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., as well as many nieces and nephews who she thought of as her own.
Besides her parents, Charlotte was predeceased by the love of her life Neil, and daughter Kathy (Paul) Sault Ste Marie, Ont.; sisters and their husbands, Theresa and John Fitzpatrick, Hilda and Bernie Gillis, Evie and Carl Campbell, and Nellie and Collie Gillis, as well as brothers, Joseph MacKenzie and Fred MacKenzie (Sharon).
As per Charlotte’s wishes there will be no visitation. A service will take place in the late spring at the Parish of Saint Leonard, New Waterford. A luncheon will follow at the parish hall on Convent St., if permitted, according to COVID protocols.
Special thanks to doctors Glenn Gallivan, Maureen Allan, John MacNeil, Ali Khalid, and the amazing Palliative Care team at St Martha’s Regional Hospital. In lieu of flowers a donation can be given to the Palliative Care Unit at St Martha’s Regional Hospital, Antigonish.
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of McLellan Brothers Funeral Home, 3183 Plummer Ave, New Waterford, 902-862-7500.
