Obituary of Pearl MacIsaac

MacIsaac, Pearl Gertrude - It is with heavy hearts and overwhelming sadness that we announce the passing of our precious wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Pearl Gertrude MacIsaac on, August 30, 2018. Born in Pictou on November 26, 1942, Pearl was the youngest child of the late Mary and Kipling MacKenzie. In 1961, she married her true love, Angus (Sonny) MacIsaac. Pearl was a faithful member of the Stella Maris Church in Pictou and in later years enjoyed attending Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Stellarton. Her religious convictions were a valuable part of her life. Pearl manifested her faith in the way she lived, the things she did, and her relationship with God. She touched many lives; always with a positive impact, a kind word for others, and only saw good in people. Her greatest passion in life was her love for Angus. She took great pride in her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren as they journeyed through life. Her days spent with her bridge friends the "Glammie’s" brought much joy to her life. Quiet times were often spent painting which was a source of pride to her family. On a pleasant summer day Pearl could often be found delighting in a game of golf. Many memories have been made with family and friends throughout the years as they traveled to places of interest. Pearl’s countless hours of volunteering with numerous organizations brought much gratification to many, but no one more, than to herself. Throughout the years many valuable friendships were fostered which led to a well-lived life for Pearl. Pearl leaves behind to mourn, her soul mate, Angus, her children and grandchildren, Gordon (Shauna), Zach, Kayla, Chantel and Cole; Angela (Royden) Boudreau, Natalie and Amanda; Lonnie (Debbie), Kevin and Craig; Peter, Haleigh and Hilary; Susan (Hugh) MacDougall, Sean, Angus and Brett; and six great-grandchildren; Benjamin and Hannah Fraser, Leland and Waverly MacIsaac, Jami and Sarah MacIsaac; sisters Muriel Turple and Florence Blair, brother, George (Kay) MacKenzie and sister-in-law June Brown, and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her great-grandson Bauer Jax MacIsaac; brothers, Lonnie MacKenzie and John MacDougall; sisters, Ann MacKay, Agnes Fraser and Catherine Brown. Special thanks are extended to the doctors and nurses of the Emergency and ICU Departments, to Dr. Ann Kwasnik and the staff of the Palliative Care Unit. The family would also like to express gratitude to special friend Dr. Imran Hack. Her remains will rest at the H.W. Angus Funeral Home, New Glasgow for visiting from 6-9pm Friday(today).
