It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Lillian MacEachen on Sunday, Dec. 28, 2014 at the Northside Community Guest Home, North Sydney.
Born in Sydney Mines, she was the daughter of the late William Thomas and Mary Beatrice (Bradley) Howell.
In her early working years, Lillian was a community grant co-ordinator for the Northside Community Workers. This program assisted the senior, sick and disabled of the towns of North Sydney and Sydney Mines.
Lillian was a passionate volunteer member of the #390 Brigade-St. John's Ambulance, Sydney since 1995. As a member she was duty co-ordinator at Centre 200 for nine years. In 1997 Lillian was awarded the PVOT from the Governor General of Canada for her service.
Music played a very large part in her life. She spent many enjoyable nights as a judge at Stevie's Jamboree. Lillian was an avid reader of the history of Canada and had a special fondness for a good game of tarabish, bingo or jeopardy.
Lillian is survived by her pride and joy, son Geoff MacEachen (Georgina), Halifax; stepsons, Jason and Chris Richards; brothers, Kenneth, Gordon and William; sister, Marjorie, many nieces and nephews, and was especially close to Troy and Jimmy.
Besides her parents, Lillian was predeceased by her partner, Jim; her siblings, Linda, Nicholas, Archie, James, Delores and Rose Christine, in infancy.
Cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 3, 2015 at the SW Chant & Son Funeral Home, 564 Alexandra St., Sydney with Rev. Sheldon Chant officiating.
In Lillian's memory, donations may be made to the Northside Community Guest Home, Recreation Department or a charity of your choice.
