Grace Pauline MacLellan

April 21, 1952 - December 31, 2020

MacLellan, Grace Pauline With sadness we announce that Pauline MacLellan, 68, passed away in the Halifax Infirmary, QE II site, on December 31. Born in Halifax, she was the daughter of the late James R. and Lillian (MacIsaac) MacLellan. Pauline is survived by sisters Janet Schadlosky, Edmonton; Frances Carmichael (Alex), Elderbank; Joan Crawford, Kingston; Roseanne Rice, Halifax; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, Pauline was predeceased by four sisters Bernadette, Mary Christena, Anne, and Mary Delores (in infancy), as well as brothers-in-law Phil Schadlosky and Brian Crawford. Pauline attended Saint Stephen’s School and Saint Patrick’s High School. She graduated from Saint Mary’s University and Mount Saint Vincent University, and taught in the English Department at Prince Andrew High School until her retirement. Pauline was gifted with many talents. She was very musical, a gifted writer, artistic, and a wonderful cook. She possessed a great sense of humour which she shared until the end. The family thanks all staff on 8.2, along with supporting hospital departments, for their wonderful care. We thank the workers from Northwood Homecare, Always Home Homecare, and the EHS paramedics who assisted Pauline. We extend our most sincere appreciation to Dr. Judith McNeil who was Pauline’s family doctor for many years. Dr McNeil went above and beyond in caring for Pauline. To honour Pauline’s wishes, there will be no service. Donations in Pauline’s memory may be made to the SPCA Dartmouth. Online condolences may be made on this memorial page.

Good Afternoon, There have been many times since my Grade 10 English class at PA with "Ms. MacLellan" that I have thought of her with fondness for her kindness and her humour. I mostly remember her laugh and the encouraging attitude that she brought to her students. One assignment stands out. She had us work on an interpretation of our favourite recording artist and to analyze the lyrics in a preferred song from that artist. I can still see the classroom and how the students were really engaged. She helped us understand English in an entirely different way that made sense to us. She was a teacher who made a tremendous impression on me which has lasted fondly these many decades later. Please accept my condolences for your loss but know the impact that Ms. MacLellan had on her students.
