Obituary for Carol MacKenzie (Casey )
Carol Ann MacKenzie - 73, Greenfield, passed away peacefully surrounded by family in Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro on December 23, 2022. Born in Truro to the late Raymond and Ruth Casey. Carol was a bright shining light in a dark world who will be forever loved and sadly missed.
Carol is survived by her son, Bob MacKenzie (Donnalee) and her beloved granddaughter, Abigail for whom she loved “to the moon and back”. She is also survived by her sisters, Brenda Mosher (Jim) and Pat Findlay (Kevin); brothers, Glen Casey (Karen), Kenneth Casey (Patti), Chris Casey (Sonya), Timmy Casey (Beth), Paul Casey; sisters-in-law, Zilpha MacKenzie, Mary Ann Rutherford, Bonita MacDonald (Terry); brothers-in-law, Larry MacKenzie (Faye), George MacKenzie (Rhoda) along with numerous nieces and nephews on both sides of the family whom she loved as if they were her own.
She was predeceased by the love of her life, Sedley Earl MacKenzie; her parents, Raymond, and Ruth Casey; sister, Debbie Jordan; parents-in-law, Earl and Gwendolyn MacKenzie.
In the early years of her career, Carol worked as a seamstress at Stanfield’s Ltd. Later, she took courses to become a Continuing Care Assistant and worked as a CCA for several years. She also worked as an Educational Assistant in schools in the area. Carol went back to Stanfield’s Ltd for a few years until she retired. She was also very involved in the Connection (Wesleyan) Church for over 40 years.
Carol was a very kind and gentle soul, making her the best mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend anyone could ask for. She had a way of making you feel like the most important person in the room; always giving you her complete attention.
Family was most important to Carol. She looked forward to every family get together. She was a fabulous cook/baker and always brought a spread to any family or church function. Delicious homemade meals and homemade bread were always readily available in her home. You never left hungry. She would always walk you to the door at the end of a visit. Without fail, if you looked back as you were leaving the driveway, you would see her standing in the porch window smiling and waving.
During her short but very courageous battle with cancer, she faced it head on and said “I’m not giving up” numerous times. She had a very strong faith which gave her peace in her final days.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Colchester Community Funeral Home, 512 Willow St., Truro, NS where a visitation will be held on Wednesday, December 28 from 6-8pm and a service at 11am on Friday, December 30 with Pastor Luke Anderson officiating. Webcasting of the service will begin at 10:58 am (AST). A private interment will be held in Greenfield Cemetery at a later date.
We would like to give a special thank you to the doctors and nurses on the 3rd floor of the Colchester East Hants Health Centre. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Connection (Wesleyan) Church or Canadian Cancer Society.
