On Thursday, June 13, 2013, with sad hearts we the family, Joseph, John and Ann Marie said good-bye to our loving mother, Mary Margaret Campbell, age 93, at the MacGillivray Guest Home, Sydney, where she resided for the last 5 years.
Born in Frenchvale, she was the daughter of the late Angus and Margaret (Morrison) MacInnis. After high school, Mary Margaret attended the Nova Scotia Normal College in Truro and taught at schools in, MacAdams Lake, Ironville, Leitches Creek, Barrachois, Westmount and finally at East Bay Elementary where she retired after teaching for more than 35 years. Mom’s love for teaching and her students always remained with her. She passed on to her children a passion for life, a pride in work and a genuine love of people. Having family and friends come to visit, to have a cup of tea, share old stories about times gone by, keeping in touch with old friends and everyone’s well being brought her so much happiness. She was a member of the Frenchvale Seniors Group for many years and an active volunteer in her community where she was a well loved and respected welcoming lady.

Don’t go gently into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
