It is with heavy hearts that we regret to announce the passing of our dear mother Muriel Margaret MacLellan, 86, of Clydesdale. Muriel died peacefully at St. Martha’s Regional Hospital on October 29, 2014 surrounded by family, and the loving arms of her youngest daughter Helen and son in-law Brian Spin who have dedicated numerous years of their lives to caring for her. Born April 28, 1928, Muriel was raised by her grandmother Margaret MacDonald in St. Andrews, where they worked together to run the telegraph office. She later co-owned and operated a salvage yard in Clydesdale with her husband William, where they worked hard to make ends meet and raise their thirteen children. Muriel was a dedicated mother and homemaker who also enjoyed farming, gardening, baking and most of all spending time with family and friends. Her favorite pastimes were trips over Brown’s Mountain with friends, spending time with her cats, or playing cards with her family and good friends Bill and Marion Bell.

She is survived by sons; Allan (Mildred); Hughie; Karl; A.J. (Helen); Allister (Lisa), all of Antigonish; Ronald (Wendy), Sherbrooke; Cameron (Kathleen), New Brunswick; John (Colette), Alberta; and daughters; Mary (Brian) Whalen; Marion (Jim) of Dartmouth; Diane (Gary) of Annapolis Valley; Bertha (Dave) Vanderburgh; and Helen (Brian) Spin of Antigonish; 28 grandchildren, and 6 great-grandchildren.

She is predeceased by her beloved husband of 63 years, William Francis MacLellan, her grandmother, and infant son.

Visitation in C.L. Curry Funeral Home, 135 College Street, Antigonish on Friday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 pm. Funeral will be held in St. Ninian's Cathedral on Saturday at 11:00 am with Reverend Donald MacGillivray presiding. Burial in the parish cemetery.
