MARGARET ELIZABETH MACLENNAN

Funeral service for the late Margaret Elizabeth MacLennan, 59, Calgary/Deepdale, was held October 14 in St Margaret of Scotland Church, Broad Cove, with her brother, Fr. Danny MacLennan officiating, with parish priest, Fr. Dan MacDonald. Burial was in Broad Cove. 

Ms. MacLennan died October 9, 2019.

Born September 29, 1960, she was the daughter of the late Sally (MacKinnon) and Hugh MacLennan. She was educated in Dunvegan School, Inverness Consolidated and Mabou Consolidated. From there, she worked briefly in Toronto, Whitehorse and finally made her home in Calgary, where she was employed for 29 years with Wastewater Treatment & Water Services Department for the City of Calgary. No work was too much for her, whether mowing the fields on a hot summer’s day on Pipers Lane, shoveling snow for her Calgary relations and the elderly in her neighbourhood – she enjoyed helping others. Margaret made many good friends along the way. Margaret enjoyed the outdoors. She loved walking and biking and every trail in Calgary was familiar to her. There was nothing she loved more than spending vacation days in Deepdale, walking Inverness beach, picking blueberries and attending Sunday mass in Broad Cove - simple things which caused her such great joy. She spent some time travelling and her best trips were to visit her brother, Fr. Danny, during his time in Dublin.

She is survived by her sister, Sandra (Paul), Bedford; six brothers, Roddie (Marian), Bedford; Steve (Margie), Margaree; John (Monica), Blues Mills; Jerry (Colleen), Quispamsis, New Brunswick; Fr. Danny, Parish Priest, Mabou; Bruce (Laura), Oakville; 14 nieces and nephews, Shawn, Shauna, Aaron, Sarah, Andrea, Katie, Angus, Margaret, Michael, Ellen, Kathleen, Cheryl, Brian, Brenda; two great-nieces, Kenzie, Claire; two great-nephews, David, Johann; cousin, Joy (MacIsaac) and Diego Romero and their children and families.

She was predeceased by two brothers, Alexander, Gus; nephew, Brendan.
