It is with sadness we announce the death of our brother, Angus Alexander MacDonald, age 73, of Mabou and most recently as resident of Inverary Manor, Inverness, who passed away peacefully in Inverness Consolidated Memorial Hospital on Monday, November 16, 2020. Born on January 5, 1947, he was the third of 12 children of Dannie and Tena (MacLean) MacDonald of Mabou Mines. Angus was a very kind and compassionate man who always looked out for his friends and family. He was proud and forever loyal to his birthplace. He worked for many years on construction projects in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island , New Brunswick and Newfoundland. As a member of the Labourers’ International Union, he travelled to Calgary, Alta., and worked on many job sites as the oil and gas industry grew and thrived. Angus loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting, and playing cards. He had a passion for fiddle music, Gaelic songs, sports and horses. He was an avid fan of the horse races at Inverness Raceway. He is survived by his siblings, Billy, Inverary Manor; Anne Chisholm (Donald), Antigonish; Kate Beaton, Little Judique; Donalda Beaton (Francis), South West Mabou; Josephine Beaton (David) Brook Village; Roddie (Mary), South West Margaree; Sally, Inverness; Michael and Stephen, Mabou; and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents; brothers, Gerard and Angus Donald; his brother-in-law, Burke; and his nephew, Aaron. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Cremation has taken place.
