With great
sadness we announce the death of Ann Marie MacHattie, age 65, of
Copper Lake, Antigonish County on Saturday, December 3, 2022 at St.
Martha’s Regional Hospital.
Ann Marie was
the youngest child of the late Hazel (Richardson) and Jack Kennedy of
Ogden, Guysborough County.
As a Canada
Post mail carrier for 41 years, Ann Marie was a much beloved, personal
friend to all those whom she served. A constant presence in everyone's
daily life, she went above and beyond dropping in daily on some of
those seniors who were alone and could not get to their
boxes. Everyone said that they could set their clocks by
her, she was that reliable. Ann Marie loved staying busy,
if she wasn’t found outside working in her yard she
would be inside using her talents. Whether
it was knitting, making pickles, jams and jellies,
toll painting, making wreaths, refinishing furniture or some other
project, it seemed there was no task she would not attempt and succeed
with. She loved the home in Copper Lake that she and Brian
devoted so much time to restoring and maintaining. A historic
house (the birth place of RK MacDonald) that had stood for
over 200 years. After losing Brian, she showed us all how tough she
could be continuing to live in the same home they both adored. She had
become a cherished nanny to six grandchildren who were her pride and
joy. We as well as many more friends and family will cherish her
dearly.
She will be
greatly missed by her children Ashley, his
wife Claire and their children Jared
and Bria, Lochaber; Elissa Cormier, her
husband Steven and their children Brian and Sophie, Ste-Marie-de-Kent,
NB; Holly Kyle, her husband Kameron, their
children Lukas and Landon, Beaverlodge, AB;

Mills; William Kennedy, Ogden; Florence (Buddy)
Murphy, Lochaber; brother in law Melvin MacDonald
and many nieces and
