MacDonald, Francis Andrew “Frank” Saddened, but grateful for a life fully lived, surrounded by his family at his home in Bedford we said goodbye to Francis Andrew (Frank) MacDonald January 9, 2021. Frank has been a compassionate, kind and loving Husband, Father, and Papa. He was born into his Cape Breton family on October 12, 1938 and became the 17th sibling of 19 children born to Harry and Elizabeth (Barrie), Florence, Cape Breton, NS. Survived by his wife of 54 years Heather (Bird), daughters, Jolene MacDonald Battist (David), their children Connor and Kristin; Dina Burtt (David), their children Ella and Innes, all of Hammonds Plains, NS. Also survived by brothers, Cecil (Selina), Conrad (Rosella); William (Edna) and sister Ann Hutchinson. He will now be reunited with his parents and siblings, Fred, Harold, Billy, Barrie, Joe, David, Edward, Muriel, Helene, Viola, Mary, Vivian, Barbara, Carol. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews, all of which were “his favorite.” Frank left Cape Breton to pursue work in Halifax and his love of people guided him to many customer service based jobs. He was always known as a sharp dresser and excelled at dressing the men around Halifax while employed with Moore’s Clothing for Men for 20 years. Frank will always be remembered for his love of Cape Breton, his strong work ethic, music, reading, gardening, pool parties, and his biscuits with strawberry jam. Frank could be found anywhere his grandchildren were doing the things they loved. He enjoyed walking the Bedford Waterfront, going to WalMart and visiting his favourite gas station for morning chats and the newspaper. He spent his summers in Pictou with endless beach days, happy hours, campfires and sing alongs with his camper friends. Our family extends heartfelt thanks to all who showed their love and concern during Frank’s illness. A special thank you to Monica Flynn, Palliative Care Consult Nurse, Dr. Judy Mader and the NSHA and EHS medical staff who assisted with Frank’s journey. A private funeral will be held Wednesday January 20 2021, at St. Ignatius Church, Bedford, NS. The service will be live streamed on saintignatius.ca To leave online condolences please visit remembr.com/francis.andrew.macdonald What we were to each other is untouched. Let my name be in your household words as it always was, I have only slipped into the next room.
