Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryMILDRED (MILLIE) MACPHEE September 3, 1927 - July 25, 2016 Peacefully on July 25, 2016, Millie passed away at Misericordia Place after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's disease. Born the eldest of 12 children on September 3, 1927, in Cape Breton, N.S. she is survived by her five boys', Gerard (Nicole), Ron (Rolande), David (Debbie) Jim, John (Diana) and daughter Debbie (Chuck); grandchildren, Corey, Nadine, Christophe, Eric, Nicholas, Rick, Jason, Sean, Stacy, Ryan, Heather and their spouses; as well as nine great-grandchildren, and her surviving siblings, Gerald (Georgie) and sister Lee. She was predeceased by her parents, Maurice and Florence Edwards, nine siblings, husband Albert (Scotty) and daughter-in-law Michelle. As a devoted mother and grandmother Millie's passions in life revolved around family and food. Any time she could combine the two, she was the happiest. A terrific cook and baker, we will always remember her legendary breakfasts and as well as her Christmas Eve feasts. Although the insidious fog of Alzheimer's robbed her of many memories, the memories of her unconditional love, strength and determination will live on in the hearts of the lives she touched. The family would like to thank Linda and Don Stewart for their friendship to mom over the past 42 years, as well as the staff of Misericordia Place for their patience, care and compassion in tending to mom's needs. Cremation has taken place and a private family gathering will be held to celebrate mom's life. While mom loved flowers, her memory and those of others would be better served by donations to The Alzheimer's Society. For those who wish to sign the online Guest Book please visit our website.

Condolences & Memories (1 entries)
-
Sincere condolences to the MacPhee family for the death of their Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. I have known the MacPhee family for many years and can attest to the fact that Millie was a wonderful Mother, who raised her 6 children primarily as a single Mother, worked tirelessly for them, and never complained. She was a nice person, who never said a bad word about anyone. When her children became adults, married, and had their own children, she loved to have them all together on holidays and spoiled them with her cooking and baking. I am sure the MacPhees have a lot of precious memories, and she will never be forgotten and remain in their hearts forever. - Posted by: Denise Desrochers (Family friend) on: Aug 05, 2016
