MACLEAN, Kathleen N.

Age 93 of Little Narrows passed away peacefully, surrounded by family on Friday, October 21, 2022, in Victoria County Memorial Hospital, Baddeck. Kathleen was born on January 9, 1929, in Orangedale East, to the late Murdoch Angus and Alexandrina (Alena Campbell) Macritchie. Affectionately known as "Grannie" to most, she was rarely idle. Always crocheting, knitting, puttering in her garden or making her famous biscuits. She had a razor-sharp wit and a heartwarming laugh that will be remembered by all who knew her. She was one of a kind and irreplaceable. One can only hope to inherit an ounce of her strength and tenacity.

She is also survived by grandchildren, Jo-anne, Jeanie, Jessica, Ronnie, Allan, Robert, Richard, Spencer, Barrett, Michelle, Mary, Veronica and Molly; and also eight great-grandchildren. Kathleen is also survived by her sisters, Margaret (late Tommy) Logue, Toronto, Ont.; and Mary (Clarence) Roberts; and brother, Lloyd (late Elsie) Macritchie both of Baddeck. She leaves behind many nieces and nephews as well as a special dog named Daisy. Kathleen was predeceased by her husband, Malcolm Maclean; daughters, Anne Bradley and Linda Macmillan. She was predeceased by an infant son, John Gillis; and an infant granddaughter, Heather Michelle. She was also predeceased by sisters, Florence (Leroy), Caroline (Sidney), Mildred (John); and brothers, Allister (Margaret) and Norman (Barbara). Cremation has taken place.
