It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of a beautiful mother, grandmother, wife and sister, Evelyn Frances MacDonald, 82, of Coxheath on Wednesday, Aug. 25, 2010.
Born in Sydney, Evelyn was the daughter of the late Strickland and Maryanne (MacDonald) Almon. She was lovingly raised by her aunt and uncle, Paddy and Nellie P. (MacDonald) Diggins.
Evelyn was an active member of Our Lady of Fatima parish and was a member of the C.W.L. She also served on the parish council. Evelyn had many loves and interests that she enjoyed until her recent illness. During her 27 years teaching at Riverview High, she was actively involved in many extra-curricular activities, especially her many years coaching cheerleaders. Evelyn was a long time member of Lingan Golf and Country Club where she enjoyed many rounds of golf, lunches, card games and laughs with her "golf crew'. Evelyn also enjoyed skating, bowling, curling and cards. Evelyn was an avid Riverview Redman and Screaming Eagles hockey fan.
Evelyn is survived by her loving family; children, Brian (Margaret Ann), Danette (Kevin MacRae), Mark (Peggy), Lezlie (Terry Pimentel); grandchildren, Rosalyn, Thomas and Patricia MacDonald; Stuart and Patrick MacRae; Brad, Steven and Jaime MacDonald; Katherine and Cameron Pimentel; sister, Genevieve (Walter MacKinnon) and brother, Michael (Alice) Almon.
She was predeceased by her loving husband of 60 years, Daniel Joseph MacDonald; her brother, Daniel Almon and sister, Theresa 'Tessie' MacDonald.
