Mary Ellen MacIsaac – 93, Truro, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, on Monday, October 6, 2014, at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro. Born March 3, 1921, in Halifax, she was a daughter of the late Daniel and Florence (Martin) Brown and was raised by other family members following the death of her mother.

Mary worked at Sears for a number of years and retired in 1987. A true family woman, she took pride in making her house a home and looking after her family. Each year, she looked forward to spending her winters with family and friends in South Carolina; she didn’t enjoy the trip, but was perfectly content when she got there. She was also an avid Bingo player and enjoyed going to the casino.

Mary is survived by her daughter, Susan (Brent) Bina, South Carolina; daughter-in-law, Carol MacIsaac, Lindsay, Ontario; several nieces and nephews. Along with her parents, she was predeceased by her husband, Colin Joseph MacIsaac; son, Colin Joseph MacIsaac, Jr.; several siblings.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall – Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro, where Mary’s family will receive friends from 10-10:45 a.m., Wednesday, October 8, 2014, followed by the funeral service at 11 a.m., Reverend Valerie Kingsbury officiating.
