MacAdam, Mary Rose, age 94, of Antigonish and formerly of McArras Brook passed away on July 14, 2019, in the R.K. MacDonald Nursing Home, Antigonish.

Born in McArras Brook, she was a daughter of the late John Willie and Katie MacAdam.

Mary Rose was a woman of strong faith.  For 53 years, she made the pilgrimage to Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre.  She also recorded the Masses in the chapel at the R.K. MacDonald Nursing Home to be televised for the residents there and handed out the bulletins.  Mary Rose worked in laundry at St. Martha’s Regional Hospital for over 30 years and also volunteered for many years with L’Arche and felt a part of their community. Before moving into the R.K, Mary lived happily for many years at the JJ Carroll House, where she had many friends.  She was always very appreciative of her family and friends.  She had a great sense of humour and enjoyed her rides down Route 245.

She is survived by the children of Carroll and Ella McVicar and Angus Dan and Catherine MacDonald.

Visitation will be held Wednesday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9pm in C.L. Curry Funeral Home, 135 College Street, Antigonish.  Funeral Mass will be held Thursday in St. Margaret of Scotland Church, Arisaig, at 11:00am with Fr. Colin MacKinnon presiding.  Burial in the parish cemetery.

Family flowers only, please.  In lieu of flowers, donations to L’Arche Antigonish appreciated.  Online condolences:  www.clcurry.com
