Obituary
Michael “Mick” Coady
New Waterford
It is with great sadness that we, the family of Michael “Mick” Coady, announce his peaceful passing on April 9th, 2022, at age 75. Mick was born in New Waterford to Francis and Ida (Ryan) Coady on December 24th, 1946.
Mick was a quiet and gentle soul who enjoyed the simple things in life. He worked as janitor of St. Michael’s schools until his retirement. He loved music and played the guitar. In earlier years he played in a band called the Commodores with his uncle and cousins. For years he was involved with a men’s group that met weekly at Maple Hill Manor to pray and play music for the residents. There was a regular kitchen party at home with tea, song, and stories that Mom loved. Mick was a great sports fan and watching the Maple Leafs and Blue Jays, his favourite teams, was a great pastime. He would never miss his daily treks to Tim’s to catch up on the latest and to meet with old friends.
Most of all, Mick had a deep faith and love of Our Lord and served in church ministries. He was a great help to Mom when our Dad was stricken with a stroke and was cared for at home. Mick taught us that humility and love are the greatest virtues.
He was predeceased by his parents, Francis and Ida, and brother Peter.
He is survived by sisters, Susan MacInnis, Port Hood; Shannon (Blair) McDonald, Fall River, N.S., several nieces and nephews, and grandnieces and grandnephews.
Visitation will be on Wednesday, April 20, 2022, from 6-8pm. Funeral Mass will be on Thursday, April 21, at 10am in the Parish of Saint Leonard with Father Jim Oliver officiating, followed by interment in St. Michael’s Cemetery. A luncheon will then be held at the Army Navy Airforce on Wilson Avenue. As requested by the family, Masks will be mandatory.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Parish of Saint Leonard or the parish cemetery fund.
