Born in Rouyn, Quebec on April 5, 1929, Emilia “Millie” Mildred MacDonald passed away peacefully on Thursday, March 27th, 2025, to join her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and her late husband Neil Campbell MacDonald. Millie was a beloved mother to Marilyn Shingleton and Robin Moore, and a cherished grandmother to her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Millie leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion, having touched the lives of those around her through her family, work, and faith.
