For years, Violet ran a canteen next to her husband Ernie’s barbershop. Later she worked part-time for Canada Post. She was a very independent woman, who took great pride in her independence.

Violet will be sadly missed by all who knew her.

She is also survived by one brother, Ewart Hardy, Ingonish; sisters, Mary Matthews, Sydney, Florence Burgess, Truro, Blanche Bayliss and Shirley (Val) Dumais, both of Ontario, and many nieces and nephews, of whom she was very fond.
Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Ernest MacLean; brothers, George (Margaret) Hardy, Duncan (Pat) Hardy, and her sister, Minnie (John) MacLean.
