DOYLE, Jeanie Marie MacDonald

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of our daughter, sister, aunt and friend Jeanie. Jeanie was the daughter of Elaine and the late Jack MacDonald. She was seven days old when she was welcomed into our family and was showered with love and friendships. She was born with Spina Bifida and has had a long medical history but was a trooper and fighter who accomplished many battles, jumped many hurdles and always came out smiling. She touched the lives of all those who have known her.

She graduated from Glace Bay High School in 1998. She was a member of St. Anne’s Parish. Her favorite pastime was talking on the telephone. She spent a lot of time talking to her family and friends.

She is survived by her mother, Elaine; her sister, Marie with whom she resided and was her caregiver for the last 3 years; sisters, Debbie (Mike), MaryLou, Joan (Mike) and brother, Glen (Lynette) and her puppy ‘Shadow’ whom she adored. She was predeceased by her father, Jack; brothers-in-law, Guy Murray and Paul Proulx. She is also survived by nieces and nephews whom she adored – Devin and Brian Murray, John and Danielle Proulx, Mathew and Nicholas MacDonald, Stephanie and Mitchell Simms, Sheri and Colleen Lahey. She is also survived by special friends Cathy MacDonald, Judy MacMullin, Michelle Corbett, Clair MacDonald and by her extended family of VON nurses, you know how special you are.
