Margaret Patricia "Patsy" (MacLeod) Antle
It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Patsy Antle, age 82, on Wednesday, March 20, 2019, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, surrounded by her loving family.
Born May 16, 1936, she was the daughter of the late Bert and Clara (Wadden) MacLeod. Her true passion was spending time with the love of her life, Billy Antle. They would always be found together volunteering at the Sydney Pensioners and the Aliant Pioneers. Patsy enjoyed curling, shuffleboard, playing cards and baking. She loved spending summers at her cottage in Big Pond.
Patsy is survived by her children, Beryl (John Wayne) Brewer, Brenda Evong (Frank), Robert (Nancy), Nancy (Sam) MacInnis, Ronnie (Jolene) and Lisa Vigneau; 17 grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; sister, Myrtle Beckwith; and brother, John (Marlain) MacLeod.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her loving husband of 60 years, William “Billy”; sister, Andrea MacIntosh; and brothers-in-law, Bernie Antle, Sonny MacIntosh and Leo Burke.
Visitation will take place at Sydney Memorial Chapel, 49 Welton Street, Sydney on Monday, March 25 from 2-4 & 7-9 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held at Our Lady of Fatima Church on Tuesday, March 26, at 11 a.m., with Rev. Bill Burke officiating. Interment will take place in St. Mary’s Cemetery, Big Pond at a later date.
