Isaac MacInnis
1934-2017
MacINNIS, Isaac–
1934–2017, St. Peters/Skye Glen. It is with great sadness
that we announce the passing of Isaac MacInnis in the Richmond Villa,
on Tuesday, November 21, 2017. He was the beloved husband of
Anne (Matthews) of 52 years. Father of Darrell, (predeceased) and
Shane (Lisa) of Mississauga ON, and was predeceased by a son at birth.
Grandfather of Benjamin, Sarah, and Matthew. Isaac was born in East
Skye Glen to the late John Angus and Janet (Young)
MacInnis.
He was a beloved brother of Donald (Anna) of East Skye Glen;
Margaret, Margaree Harbour. He will be deeply missed by many
sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins, and
friends. He was predeceased by sisters, Grace (Richard predeceased)
MacLean, Florence (Donald predeceased) MacLean, and Agnes
“Aggie” (Dick of Elkview West Virginia) McVey; brothers,
Ninian (Kay predeceased), Allister, Beattie “Mac” (Laura of
London ON), Peter (Annie Mae of East Skye Glen), and George (Evelyn
predeceased).
After leaving Cape Breton at a young age Isaac lived in
Sudbury, working for the Falconbridge mines and also worked at Hodge
General Store delivering groceries. Isaac then moved to Toronto where
he met and married his true love Anne. Anne and Isaac lived and
lovingly raised a family in Long Branch and in Mississauga. Every
summer they would travel “Down Home” to Cape Breton to visit
everyone in Dundee and Skye Glen and whoever had been “Home”
at the time. Throughout the year they would make weekend trips to
Sudbury and West Virginia, where fond and happy memories were made.
They were members of St. Paul’s (Long Branch) and Bethel
(Milton) United Churches. He was member of the Moose Lodge and also
bowled a perfect 5 pin game of 450 points. After working at Otis
Canada Inc for over 30 years as an Elevator Installer on many of the
large skyscrapers in Toronto it was time to retire and move
“Home”. In 1995 Isaac and Anne built a home in West Skye
Glen on land that Isaac worked on when he was young. He was a member
of the Brotherhood and Stewart United Church in Whycocomagh and
participated in many community activities. Isaac was devoted to all of
his family and friends and someone who would always be the first to
help out. He was a kind and soft spoken person and would not say
anything harsh about anyone or anything, but he could deliver a clever
punch line out of the blue with that familiar smile on his face. He
will always be in our hearts and will be truly missed.
We would like to say a thank You to all of the Staff and Care
Givers at the Richmond Villa in St. Peters for all of their kindness
and care especially during the last couple of weeks. We would like to
thank Rev. Rachel Campbell of Stewart United Church in Whycocomagh for
her Support during this time of sadness. We would also like to thank
the Ladies of the Skye Glen Hall for all of their hard work and
kindness.
Cremation has been taken place and there will be a private
graveside ceremony at a later date. Arrangements are under the care of
Dennis Haverstock Funeral Chapel, Whycocomagh. Words of comfort may be
forwarded to the family at www.haverstocks.com

Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Isaac MacInnis 19342017.source
