February 20, 2025
It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of Anna Catherine MacDonald of Antigonish, Nova Scotia, at St. Martha’s Hospital on February 20, 2025, after a long battle with cancer.
Born in Antigonish, Anna worked for many years at St. Francis Xavier University Aquatic Department and finished her career with the Opportunity Shop.
Anna liked the simple things in life such as growing up on a farm with seven siblings, her morning coffee with a newspaper and doing the daily crossword. She enjoyed hiking and snowshoeing with her friends and so many walks on ‘The Landing’.
Anna cherished her nieces and nephews, always remembering and celebrating every milestone. Her kind and loving nature was reflected in her generosity.
Anna was the daughter of the late John William MacDonald and Lillian C. (MacLellan) MacDonald, Glencoe, Guysborough County, NS.
She is survived by her sister Peggy Doiron (Raymond), Moncton, NB, three brothers, John (Rita), Toronto, ON, Lewis (Bonnie), Moncton, NB, and Vince, Guysborough, NS. Her niece, Lindsay Ralph (Chris), Stephenville, NL, her nephew Brandon Vooro, BC. Two grand nieces, Lillian and Brooklyn and grand nephew, Drew.
Anna was predeceased by her parents, maternal grandparents Joe ‘The Hermit’ MacLellan and Margaret Ann MacDonald, paternal grandparents Matthias John MacDonald and Mary A. MacDonald, her three sisters, Jean MacDonald, Donna MacDonald and Angela Vooro, and her nephew, Andrew Doiron.
The day will not shine so brightly with Anna not in it.
Cremation has taken place. Visitation will be held at C L Curry Funeral Home, 135 College St. Antigonish on Tuesday, February 25th from 1:00pm until time of service in the funeral home at 3:00pm. Reverend Donald MacGillivray presiding.
Anna’s family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Bentley and his staff as well as Dr. McKenna and the team at St. Martha’s Hospital for her care in Oncology and Palliative Care.
In memoriam, donations to St. Patrick's Cemetery Fund, Guysborough Intervale, appreciated.
