PICTOU – Christobell Pamela MacCormack, 85, of Strathcona Place, and formerly of Cottage St., Pictou, passed away April 15, 2009 in the Palliative Care Unit of Aberdeen Hospital, New Glasgow.
Born in Scotsburn, she was a daughter of the late Albert and Mary (Rush) Owen.
Christobell was actively involved with the Pictou United Church, in the U.C.W., and as a C.G.I.T. Leader. She also volunteered much of her time with the Opportunity Shop and the Food Bank, but her passion in life was gardening, and her home on Cottage Street was proof of that.
She is survived by her son, Larry (Ann), Truro; daughter, Shirley (Bill) Humphrey, Midland, Ontario; granddaughters: Kelly (Dan) Fillion, Hamilton, Ontario; Cindy (Adam) Loney, Fergus, Ontario; Stephanie (Charles) Randolph, Ajax, Ontario; two great-granddaughters, Chloe and Molly; brother, Albert (Edie) Owen, Plymouth; numerous nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband Frank; sisters, Florence and Ivy; grandson, Mark Humphrey.
Visitation will be held 7-9 p.m. Friday in McLaren Funeral Home, Pictou. Funeral service will take place 1 p.m. Saturday from Pictou United Church, with Rev. Mary-Beth Moriarity officiating. Burial will be in Bethel Cemetery, Scotsburn.
Family flowers only please. Donations in her memory may be made to the Aberdeen Palliative Care Society, or the Canadian Cancer Society.
