Marguerite MacKenzie
1930-2017
MacKENZIE, Marguerite – Whycocomagh. It is with deep sadness
that the family of Marguerite MacKenzie (Grezel) grieve her
passing on Thursday, June 1, 2017 in the Alderwood Rest Home, Baddeck.
Born on May 28, 1930, in Sydney, Marguerite (or Shoupie to those who
knew her best) spent her adult years raising her family with her
husband Roy at various Military towns in Canada. Retirement brought
everyone back to Whycocomagh, Cape Breton, where Shoupie enjoyed many
occasions and laughs with her extended family and in service with the
Lionettes.
After living with dementia later in her life, Marguerite
spent the past five years at Alderwood Rest Home, where staff lovingly
cared for her during her most difficult hours. Even during these
times, her wit remained intact, and a joke would light up her eyes and
face with a smile. This was particularly evident during a visit from
her grandchildren or in the presence of animals; both of which
provided her with many happy moments.
Marguerite leaves behind her sons, Glenn (Maryann) MacKenzie,
Gary (Geraldine) MacKenzie; daughters, Terry (Craig) Gillis, Carole
(John) Munro, along with grandchildren, Lindsey, Jonathan, Sean,
Devon, Matthew, Jason, Meaghan, Blake, Christy, Garrett, and Callie,
and her great- grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband of 59
years, Roy MacKenzie, and her special sister, Terry (Vernon)
Walsh.
In honour of Marguerite’s wishes, there will be no
visitation. A memorial funeral service will be held on Sunday, June 4,
at 2:00 p.m. in Stewart United Church in Whycocomagh, officiated by
Reverend Rachel Campbell. Burial to follow in Stewartdale Cemetery. In
lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Whycocomagh Waterfront
Centre to assist with their efforts for seniors, or to the Alderwood
Rest Home Recreation Program.
The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation to
Dr. Chow for his dedication, and to Susan MacNeil and the rest of the
Alderwood staff for their compassion and care. Arrangements are under
the care and direction of Dennis Haverstock Funeral Chapel,
Whycocomagh. Words of comfort may be forwarded to the family at www.haverstocks.com
