Obituary for Jane MacNeil
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Elizabeth (Jane) MacNeil on Nov. 10, 2023, at the age of 60.
Jane was predeceased by her parents Cornelius (Connie) MacNeil and Mary (Mae) Catherine MacNeil (Boyle); brother James MacNeil (stillborn).
She is survived by her son Dean MacNeil, whom she loved dearly: as well as, siblings Harriet Steele, Blaise MacNeil, Sandra (John) Drach, Margie (Dave) Fracchia, Brad (Krista) Mac Neil; stepmother Felisa MacNeil, half-sister Darcy MacNeil; nieces and nephews, Chris (Lena) Oevering; Amber, Kyley, Lyndon (fiance’- Rayne Wilson), Catherine, Francis, John-Paul, Dominic, and James Drach; Christian (Seph) Fracchia, Courtney Fracchia; Darren and Allysia MacNeil; great nephews Caleb, Ezra, Lucas Oevering.
Jane was born in Toronto Ontario, and also lived in Sault Ste Marie and Winsor ON, then moved to Antigonish NS in 1969. In 1977 she moved out west and lived in Alberta for numerous years, before moving to New Westminster, BC, where she spent the majority of her life. Jane had a strong work ethic and worked for Fraser Health for ~32 years.
Jane was very spiritual and had a deep faith. She loved people, especially her family and friends. She was always full of conversation and had a spontaneous and witty sense of humor. She was an absolute joy to be around. Jane was a gentle soul and always put everyone ahead of herself and treated them with love and respect. On her errands or walking to work, she took the time to talk to people along the way, whether she knew them or not. She loved her cats, Sugar and Spice and was especially fond of birds and squirrels, which she liked to feed. She loved music and enjoyed dancing.
Jane will be deeply missed by everyone who knew her.
A funeral will be held at St. Peter’s Catholic Church, 330 Royal Ave., New Westminster, BC at 11:00am on Saturday May 4, 2024. All welcome.
Interment will take place at St. Ninian’s Cemetery in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, on Friday May 24, 2024 at 3pm.
In lieu of flowers, the family would greatly appreciate a donation in Jane’s name to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
