It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Camille after a short courageous battle with cancer on Nov. 3, 2009, at the VG Hospital, surrounded by her family.
Born in Sydney on March 3, 1958, she was the only daughter of the late Douglas (Duke) MacDonald and Irene (Carroll) MacDonald.
Camille is survived by her brothers, Dougie (Lorraine), Sydney, Peter (Patsy), Dartmouth, Jack, Halifax, PJ (Jen), Sydney, and Ronnie (Estelle), Beaverbank and 10 nieces and nephews.
Camille loved her animals dearly. Midnight, her dog of nine years who died a couple of months into her illness, and Sassy, her cat.
She graduated from Sydney Academy in 1977 and moved to Alberta where she got her carpentry certification. She then moved to Halifax where she had been employed at the Irving Shipyards since 1995. Camille was also on the women’s committee at the Shipyards and took great pride in teaching young women about woman’s opportunity in trades.
Her love of angels gave her great comfort in life’s trying times. Camille’s family and many close friends will miss her greatly.
Cremation has taken place and there will be no visitation by request. A funeral mass will be held Monday, Nov. 9, 2009, at 10 a.m. in St. Mary’s Cathedral Basilica with Rev. Ronald Cairns officiating. A reception will follow in the church hall. Interment will be held privately at a later date.
The family wish to sincerely thank, Dr. Karen Anderson, Camille’s family physician, the nurses and doctors at Palliative Care VG for their kindness and compassionate care shown to Camille and the family, and also to the doctors and nurses at the Dartmouth General.
Family flowers only. Donations may be made to “Feed Others of Dartmouth†or Palliative Care VG or Dartmouth General.
