Cecil was predeceased by his loving wife Avis in 2001; parents Clarence and Sophie McCabe; siblings Darlene, Bernice, Ila and Vernon. It comforts us to know he will be welcomed with loving arms into the forever after.
Cecil will be dearly missed by his children Mabel (Jim) Meng, Betty (Ron) Scott, Shirley (Chris) Adams and Rob McCabe; loving partner Jeannette McAvany and grandchildren Melissa, Brad, Darren, Teresa, Misty, Andrew, Calvin and Cale; ten great grandchildren and many more family and friends.
Cecil came to Prince George in the mid 1950’s to work in the logging industry, from the farm 3 1/2 miles south of Freemont Saskatchewan--where he was born and spent his childhood. He spent the majority of his working years with Northwood Shelly Sawmill, where he operated the crane. All log truck drivers new the job would be done with care and expertise. Cecil retired in the spring of 1990, when Shelly sawmill closed and the crane that was part of him was retired, so he as well felt it was time to follow. Cecil was a family man to the fullest. He enjoyed all things family and always had a Coors Light to crack open for you, and HIM. We will love and miss him, now and always. Farewell to a man of few words and a Big Heart.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Alzheimer’s Society or a charity of your choice.
A Graveside Service will take place for family and close friends on Tuesday, August 10, 2021 at 11am at the Prince George City Cemetery.
