Wilfred Francis MacNeil
Date de décès : 28 janvier 2019
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear husband, father, brother, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Wilfred Francis MacNeil on Monday, January 28, 2019.
He is survived by his loving wife, Frances (Metcalfe); daughters, Belinda (Danny MacKenzie), Helen Brown (Paul); son, Craig (Dawn McLaine); and grandchildren, Chad, Matthew, Shaun, Hailey, Ainsley, Caleb, and Chase; and four great-grandchildren, Gabe, Mia, Matthew and Ben.
He was predeceased by his beloved son, Troy.
Wilfred worked at DEVCO as a fitter at Central Shops. He was a pillar of his community and worked as a volunteer Firefighter for 35 years. Wilfred was a kind, caring and compassionate man. His joy for life was being surrounded by his family and friends. He was happiest spending time with his beautiful wife Frances, either out on the Mira or at home in Reserve Mines. His battle with cancer was tough and short. He was a gentleman to the end. He will be deeply missed.
Visitation for Wilfred MacNeil will be held Thursday, January 31 at Pattens Funeral Home in Glace Bay from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. followed by a Mass at Saint Joseph’s Church in Reserve Mines at 11 a.m. Friday, February 1, 2019.
