MacLean, Betty Jean, 70, of Crossroads Ohio, Antigonish County, passed away on May 19, 2020, in the Victoria General Hospital, Halifax, after a brief but courageous battle with heart disease and cancer.
Born in Truro, she was a daughter of the late Albert and Caroline (Smith) Poirier.
Betty was a real spitfire and social butterfly. She took a lot of pride in her car and her drives all over the countryside with her sister and sidekick, Diane. Together they enjoyed the local fish and chip shacks and ice cream stands. Most Saturday nights, Betty could be found kicking up her heels at the dance in St. Andrews, where again she would be found with Diane and many of her friends. Some of her other loves were most definitely fishing, scratch tickets, crossword puzzles, playing Yahtzee, and most of all lobster. Betty loved all kids, but especially her grandkids. She will no doubt be dearly missed by all her "Facebook Fans".
She is survived by her daughters, Vicki (Jamie Stewart), Crossroads Ohio; Lisa (Lori) MacLean, Medicine Hat, AB; sons, Darryl (Melissa Dumont) and Sandy (Tammy Kitzul), Medicine Hat; grandchildren, Kelsey MacLean, Kody MacLean, and David Kobasiuk; sisters, Diana (late John A.), Ohio; Elaine, Stellarton; Sheila (late Bernard), Calgary; and Pam (Larry), Country Harbour; brothers, Donnie, West River; Sheldon (Francine), Calgary; many nieces and nephews; and her grand-dog, Oakley, and grand-kitties, Harley and Bee.
Predeceased by her husband, Donnie.
