Born in Halifax, she was a daughter of the late Fred and Amy (Mason) MacPhee and special daughter of Murray and Gertrude MacPhee.

She was a warm and loving wife, mother and grandmother. She kept a close circle of friends, without whom these last few months would have been more difficult than they were. She was loved by many. She will be sadly missed by her children, Pamela (Maury), Yellowknife; Sandra (Halifax); and Danny, Coldbrook; grandchildren, Connor, Delaney, Anghus and Sophie; sisters in law, Janie (Brian), Saskatchewan; and Marsha (Rodney), BC. She was predeceased by her husband, Eric and son in law, Paul Beaton. Cremation has taken place.

Reception will follow in the funeral home hospitality area. Interment in Brookside Cemetery, Mill Village.
