Archibald W. MacKenzie (aka Archie, Butch, Mac) of Keene, NH passed away peacefully on November 16, 2021, at the age of 89. Born on December 21, 1931, in Malden, MA to Daniel J. MacKenzie, Sr. and Dolena MacInnis MacKenzie.
He was predeceased by his parents, wife Margaret Gardner MacKenzie, brother Daniel J. MacKenzie, Jr. of Massachusetts, sister Catherine MacKenzie-Smith of Colorado, and brother William R. MacKenzie of Virginia.
Archie is survived by numerous nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews.
Archie was very proud to have served in the US Army from 1949 to 1952. He was a very kind, fun loving, and generous man and always had a smile on his face. For years he and his wife took in foster children in need of temporary housing, volunteered to drive elderly patients to appointments, and was always looking for ways to help people in need. He worked for the Government Printing Office in Washington, DC for 25 years and received many awards during his tenure. He was an avid walker, loved the outdoors, and enjoyed his daily visits at the Keene Senior Center.
We will miss his smile.
In keeping with Archie’s wishes, family will hold a private service.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Archibald W. MacKenzie’s name are requested to be made to the Alzheimer’s Association (www.ALZ.org) or to your favorite Veteran’s charity.
