MACDOUGALL (Macdonald), Mary Anne

With great sadness, yet thankful for a life well lived we announce the passing of Mary Anne (Macdonald) Macdougall of Addington Forks. She died peacefully at home with family by her side. Born in Beaver Meadow on June 2, 1926, she was the daughter of Janet and Alex A. Macdonald. In 1950 she married Joe Macdougall and together they operated a dairy farm in Addington Forks.
