Obituary of Naida MacLeod

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Mum, Naida Frances MacLeod ( MacKean), age 85, on August 5th at Valley View Villa, Riverton. She was a long time resident of New Glasgow. Born in Cross Roads on July 7, 1931 she was the daughter of Fulton and Vesta MacKean. She is predeceased by her husband of 63 years, Stan MacLeod and two sisters, Muriel Campbell and Yvonne Fraser ( Leo). For 23 years Naida worked as a medical receptionist for the late Dr. Walter MacLean. She was a member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church and its choir, and a long time member of the church guild where she honed her skills as the ultimate organizer and social convenor. Naida was an amazing wife and mother, a tireless worker known far and wide for her culinary skills. She was a loyal and generous friend. Mum will be sadly missed by her children, Jim, Hopewell, Steven (Judy), New Glasgow, Nancy ( Rick Goodman), New Glasgow and Susan (Graham) Vancouver. She was a loving grandmother to six grandsons, Nick ( Morgan), Andrew ( Bronwyn), Adam (Lisa), Mitchell ( Madeleine), Aaron ( Alesha) and Kevin and one granddaughter, Megan, five great grandchildren and many cherished nieces and nephews. We would like to thank the wonderful and caring staff of the 2nd floor at Valley View Villa and Dr. Aulayne Jeans for her compassionate care and Dr. Pat Craig. No words can express how much you will be missed, Mum. Donations to St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Alzheimer's Society. There will be a celebration of life at St. Andrew's Church Hall, New Glasgow, Monday, August 8th 2-4pm. Cremation has taken place with a private family burial at a later date.
