Christena (Tena) MacPherson
1927-2022
It is with great sadness that the family of Christena (Tena)
MacPherson announce her passing at the Dr Everett Chalmers Hospital
(DECH) on February 5, 2022. Born in Aspy Bay, Cape Breton Nova Scotia,
on September 11, 1927, she was the daughter of the late Alex and
Magdlean MacIsaac.
Mom is survived by sons Bryan (Sandra) MacPherson, Cobourg,
ON, Dennis (Darlene) MacPherson, Oromocto, NB, and Sheldon MacPherson,
Oromocto, NB; daughters Debbie Stevens, Fredericton, NB, Norma
MacPherson, Geary, NB, and Doline (Steve) Bobbitt, Burton, NB;
grandchildren Dawn, Jennifer, Erin, Christy, and Darren; great
grandchildren Olivia, Harmony, Henry, Liam, and Reese; sisters
Florence MacDonald, Sydney, NS, and Susie MacIsaac, Sydney,
NS.
Besides her parents, Mom was predeceased by her husband,
Duncan MacPherson; brothers Randal, Jim John, Edward, and Donald;
sisters Jessie, Margaret, Mary, and Annie; son-in-law Brian Stevens,
and daughter-in-law Cathy MacPherson.
Mom was a proud Cape Breton’er although she lived
most of her life in Oromocto, NB. Her passions were her family, Bingo,
and 45’s, not necessarily in that order. Mom was out going
and very social. She volunteered at the Oromocto Public Hospital until
the age of 82. She loved to bake, knit, quilt, and all things flowers.
The thing mom looked forward to the most was a summer trip
back home to Sugar Loaf, Cape Breton and enjoying the hospitality of
Donald and Bunny.
The family would like to offer a special thank you to
Enhanced Living Gagetown’s entire staff for showing our mom
love, compassion, kindness, and patience when she needed it most.
Thank you for treating our mother like she was your own. We appreciate
everything you did that made mom feel safe and loved.
Thank you to the DECH, 4NE, for the week of compassionate
care you showed to our mom.
In her final years of fighting the relentless disease of
Alzheimer’s, she tried to take everything in stride. We love
you, mom, and you will always be in our thoughts. No more worries,
mom, you are at peace now.
Respecting the family’s wishes, there will be no
funeral at this time. A graveside service will be held at a later date
in the Pine Grove Cemetery, Burton, NB.
In lieu of flowers, in memory of Tena, a donation may be made
to the Alzheimer’s Society or a charity of your
choice.
