Mary Ida (Kane) Mulcahy
Date de décès : 12 novembre 2008
Jan. 23, 1924-Nov. 12, 2008 Sometimes a spirit is just too big, too full of life and laughter for containment within a tired body and the need to break free wins. Such is the case for our mother, Mary Ida Mulcahy (nee Kane), who passed peacefully on Nov. 12, 2008, while a patient at the VG Hospital in Halifax. Molly, as she was known for most of her life, had battled heart disease for the past eight years. As matriarch of the Kane clan from Morell, P.E.I., she taught us all about strength, humour, laughter, integrity, perseverance and tenacity, as well as the need to live in the moment with an ever hopeful eye to the future and an understanding of the extreme importance of the past. Molly was predeceased by her husband, Gerald Joseph Mulcahy and two siblings, Imelda and James, as well as her parents, Elva and Leonard Kane. We know they are all preparing a lobster supper for her, with a dance to follow. She will love that! She leaves behind a family that mourns her, comprised of siblings, Teresa Kane, Sr. Rosalia Kane, CSM, Norman Kane, all of Charlottetown, Joan (Gordon) Golding, Hamilton, Fr. Joseph Kane and Gemma (Terry) O'Sullivan, Ottawa, as well as nieces and nephews, whom she loved and who celebrated her spirit and love of laughter and a good joke. She also leaves behind three children, Maureen Hickey, her partner Paul Bruce, son Daniel (Tracey) and Kathleen (Richard) Jardine, as well as grandchildren, Timothy, Kyle, Nathan, Matthew, Scott, Molly Marie and the newest Who in Whoville, Joseph who also carries the Kane name forward. We, the family would like to extend thanks and condolences to Mom's friends, who share our loss and grief. You all played such a pivotal role in her life and afforded her so much kindness during the past years. We would like to thank the doctors and nurses on Unit 8 at the QE Hospital and Unit 4-B at the VG Hospital whose kindness is so appreciated. There will be visitation at Snow's Funeral Home on 2666 Windsor St., Halifax, Monday, Nov. 17 from 1-3 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral mass will be celebrated Tuesday, Nov. 18 at 10 a.m. at St. Lawrence Church in Fairview.
