Yesterday, April 5, 2011, we celebrated the life and death of Mae (Mary) Daigle, Glace Bay, who was born on Dec. 29, 1922.
Mom is survived and sadly missed by sons, Russell (Joan), Margaree, John, Glace Bay, Ron (Cynthia), Winnipeg, Harold (Terry), Glace Bay, Richard (Violet), Glace Bay, Gerard (Moria), Oshawa, Eddie (Zilla), Port Morien; and daughters, Pearl (Jimmy McCarthy), Glace Bay, Mary (Kevin Pembroke), Mira, Theresa (Jimmy Callaghan) and grandchildren, Mark, Jamie and Matthew Callaghan, with whom she resided.
Mae is also survived by her brother, Gerard (Frances), Amherst; numerous grandchildren; great-grandchildren; nieces and nephews. All Mae’s grandchildren were special, but she always had a special love and devotion for Roddie, who showed her love, conquers all.
Mae was predeceased by her husband, Cliff, parents, Jim and Sis Haley, brothers, Eddie, Beau, Tom and a sister, Annie Irene in infancy. She was also predeceased by daughter-in-law, Kerry, grandson, Freddie and great-grandson, Stephen.
Mae loved to walk, play the piano, chat with her family and friends on the computer and always enjoyed exercising, talking diets and looking for “just a little chip” of anything.
No matter what the situation, mom found some humour, raising 10 children on her own; she was not only their inspiration but friend and hero.
Visitation will take place on Thursday from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. in the V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, 16 Reserve St., Glace Bay. The funeral mass, officiated by Rev. Leo Boone, is Friday morning, 10 a.m. in St. Anne’s Church. Cremation to follow, interment at a later date in the parish cemetery. Reception to be held in the church foyer.
As an expression of sympathy for Mae, memorial donations in her memory may be made to a charity of one’s choice.
