It is with great sadness the family announce the peaceful passing of Mary Sarah MacDonald, a resident of Long Island, on Saturday, Oct. 30, 2010, at her home under the care of her loving family.
Born in Scotch Lake, she was the daughter of the late Michael and Mary Ann (MacInnis) MacDonald.
Mary was a member of St. Andrews Church, Boisdale. Mary loved to travel, spending time in Montreal working. She returned home to become a hairdresser. She worked at O'Connors Beauty Salon in Sydney Mines, while living in Scotch Lake with her brother Allan and his family. Upon retirement, Mary moved to Long Island to live with her sisters.
Mary is survived by her sisters, Theresa MacDonald, with whom she resided, Margaret Walsh, Scotch Lake, Joan Jessome, Ontario; and sister-in-law, Theresa Mac Donald, Halifax. She was a loyal and trusted aunt to her 40 nieces and nephews and their families.
Besides her parents, Mary was predeceased by her sister, Anne Young, her brothers, Joe, John and his wife Babe, Angus and his wife Marie, Malcolm, Allan and his wife Irene, three brothers in infancy and her brothers-in-law, Matt Walsh and James Young.
