Born in Dominion, she was the daughter of the late Neil and Pearl Ann (Crosby) MacKinnon and was a faithful member of St. Eugene’s Church in Dominion.
In her earlier years Carmelita enjoyed swimming and going to beaches with her family and friends. She was a stay-at-home mom, a job she truly enjoyed and was well known for making the best turkey dressing, caramel apples and her numerous pans of fudge. Mom was a very mild-mannered lady who always put the needs of others before the needs of herself. Carmelita will be fondly remembered for all the loving moments spent with her children and grandchildren, her family was her life.
She will be sadly missed by her loving children, daughter, Charleen (David) Findon, Ont; sons, Darrow, Alberta, Allan, at home, Bill (Jackie), Glace Bay; eight grandchildren, three great-grandchildren; sisters, Dorothy MacKinnon, Dominion, Rose McIsaac, Ontario; numerous nieces, nephews and friends.
