It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Josephine Fullom on Thursday, April 23, 2015, at the Northside General Hospital surrounded by her loving family.
Born in North Sydney, she was the daughter of the late Norman and Mary (Young) MacLean.

She was predeceased by her parents; two brothers, Sid, George; sister-in-law, Kathleen MacLean; nephews Trevor and Christopher and great niece Charmaine.
Visitation for Josephine will be 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 Sunday, in the W.J. Dooley Funeral Home, 107 Pleasant St., North Sydney. Funeral mass will be held 2 p.m. Monday at St. Joseph Church Bras d’Or, with Rev. Peter McLeod officiating. Burial will take place in St. Joseph Cemetery at a later date.
