Millicent Eveline (Dunbar) MacCormack passed away peacefully at Camp Hill Veteran's Memorial Hospital, Halifax, on Sunday March 1, 2015. Born in Medicine Hat, Alberta on September 7, 1917 she was the second born daughter of Sidney and Laura (Paton) Dunbar. Following her graduation from high school Millicent took her nurses' training at the Freemason's Hospital in Morden, Manitoba. Millicent had an adventurous spirit and with her RN, she worked at the Mayo Clinic in the US, as an airline stewardess for CP Air in BC, and then enlisted as a Nursing Sister in the navy during WWII and was posted to Halifax. While working in the OR at Stadacona Hospital, she met a handsome dentist and fell in love. Harold and Millicent were married in December 1946 and settled in Truro to raise their family. Millicent continued her career and worked as a nurse in OPD and Recovery Room at the Colchester Regional Hospital. Millicent took an active interest in the community and was a member of the congregation of St John's Anglican Church and the women's group. She was a member of IODE, Hospital Auxiliary, Truro Curling Club, and volunteered at the Truro Museum. Millicent loved to knit and stitch and was a member of the Marigold Guild. Millicent enjoyed physical activity throughout her life swimming and boating at the family cottage at Shortts Lake in the summer, and curling, skating and swimming at the pool in the winter. Millicent enjoyed her years living at Camp Hill Veterans Memorial Hospital and participating in the activities there. She loved the Veterans' Memorial Garden and celebrated two birthdays there with friends and family. The family is very appreciative of the loving, compassionate care provided to our mother at Camp Hill Hospital.
