MacLellan Tina Louise (56) Port Hawkesbury,
NS.
It is with great sadness that we the family announce the
passing of Tina Louise MacLellan following her short battle with
cancer on Monday, September 5th, 2022, surrounded by family at the
Cape Breton Regional Hospital. Born May 27th, 1966 in Antigonish, NS.
She was the youngest of 11 children to the late Pte: Donald Archibald
(DA) and Mary MacLellan. Tina resided in Cape Breton for the remainder
of her years. Beginning her career at the age of 18 with Stora Enso
cafeteria, where she spent 20 years of her professional life. Tina was
always known for her strong work ethics and independence. There was no
denying that Tina worked hard for what she wanted in life and to
provide the best she could for her only child, Caitlin. One of her
major accomplishments in life was being able to build and own her own
home at the age of 25; a home that she was able to raise Caitlin in,
showing her the value of independence and instilling the same strong
work ethic as her. Anyone that knew Tina knew Caitlin was her entire
world; their bond as mother and daughter was fierce and like no other.
Having already battled cancer once before with Caitlin’s
leukemia diagnosis at the age of 10 and 32. Her strength,
determination and will to fight was unstoppable and is what pushed
Caitlin to never give up. She was a inspiration to many for her
traits, but to Caitlin, Scarlett, Olivia and her life partner Sandy
she was their EVERYTHING- the rock, the glue, and the home wherever
she was. Besides being an amazing mom nanny and partner- Tina was a
life long dedicated fan to her Maple Leafs, and Rolling Stones, more
specifically “Mick Jagger”. Tina enjoyed her flowers when
she gardened, her Sundays binging Coronation street, with a hot cup of
tea and a challenging crossword or suduko.
Tina is survived by her life partner Sandy (Warner),
daughter Caitlin and two granddaughters Scarlett and Olivia (Hoben) or
as she called them “Letty and Livy”. Sisters Linda (Allen)
Bates, Karen (Vince) Daigle, and Mary MacLellan all of Long Stretch
Road, NS. Brothers Dick (Mary) MacLellan of Winnipeg Manitoba, and
Gussie MacLellan of Port Hawkesbury, NS. Tina was pre-deceased by her
baby sister Mary (at infancy), sister Sheila (Angus) MacDonald of
Antigonish, and brothers Gary, Robert (Theresa) MacLellan of Bay St.
Lawrence and Fraser (Debbie) MacLellan of Port Hastings, NS. Tina had
many nieces and nephews, each one held a special place in her heart
and she loved them as her own. Tina had a “special” support
team outside of Caitlin and Sandy during the last few months of her
life; To her nieces Tracy MacDonald, and Crissy Marchand, nephew Gary
MacDonald, Life long friends Kenny MacAskill and Cindy MacLean, sister
in law Theresa MacLellan and brother in law Angus MacDonald.
Tina was forever grateful for you all, and there are no words to
explain how much we the family appreciated you all for everything
you’ve done and do for us still. Special thanks to dr Jean
McLaughlin for all the years of care as her family MD, and her
pallative team Dr Phillip Cooper, and RN Kyla Mackeigan. A service

take life to seriously and always remember; it is just a passing
fad”
