MacPhee, Christina Ann “Tena”(Dunphy) – 73, Bible Hill

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our dear wife, mother and grandmother, Christina Ann MacPhee (Dunphy) on Friday, January 2, 2015 in Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro. Tena grew up in Dominion and Reserve Mines, Cape Breton and in 1968 she moved to Truro with her new husband, Robert. During the past 47 seven years they became the proud parents of Robert (Susan), North Sydney, Stephen (Helena), Brisbane, Australia and Paul (Laura), Shubenacadie. They are also the proud grandparents of Josie, Tina, Joshua, Grace and Lily. Tena’s life centered around her family and her Catholic faith. She was a member of the Immaculate Conception Parish in Truro. It was her family and faith that gave her the greatest joy and the basis upon which she dealt with the health issues she had to face over so many years. Tena was predeceased by her parents, William and Margaret Dunphy (McPhee); sisters, Mary (in infancy) and Josephine; brothers, Edward, John, Ray, Alvin and Father Gerald. She is survived by brother, Michael, Brandon, Manitoba and many nieces and nephews. Visitation will take place on Sunday, January 4 from 6-8 pm in Colchester Community Funeral Home, 512 Willow Street, Truro. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Monday, January 5 at 11:00 am in Immaculate Conception Church, 669 Prince Street, Truro with Father Francesco Pirisi officiating.
