Patricia Anne MacDougall
1942-2021

Patricia Anne MacDougall, 79, of Moncton went to be with her Lord and Saviour on September 29th, 2021. She passed away at the Moncton Hospital with her loving family by her side.
Pat was born in West River on May 7, 1942 the daughter of
the late Aubrey and Annie (Wilbur) Butland.
Pat graduated High School in Hillsborough. She worked at
T.Eaton Company for a short while then she met the love of
her life, Don, and they were married and started raising their
family. Don joined the military and Pat was left to fend for
herself and take care of the household, she did so without hesitation.
She babysat for her sister and people in the community when
her children were small. Pat loved children and was a great
caretaker, she had the patients of Job and never seemed to get
frazzled even when things went wrong. Don then went into the
ministry and became a Reverend and this meant taking the
family wherever he was called to serve his Lord. Pat was
again willing and ready to do what she had to and being a Minister's
wife was now her job. She supported her husband and has made
many friends over the years all over the Maritimes. Pat was
there for her children and all of her family, her and Don seemed to be
the go to people when anyone needed guidance.
She was close with her sisters and even though she didn't
live next door the phone was always nearby. Some
would say she knew more about what was going on in the family
than the others who lived close to each other. Pat was loyal
and visited her sister Faye who has dementia, Pat was determined to be
there for her and visited regularly so Faye would remember her as long
as she could. She also had a special place in her heart for
her nieces and nephews, she cared for them all and always kept up on
how they were all doing. As her family grew and
her grandchildren and great-grandchildreb came along, they were
definitely her pride and joy. She was a cool grandmother who
was always there when needed. Pat's grandchildren felt
blessed to have a grammy that they could depend on whatever the case
may be. Her faith was strong and she depended on that to get
her through life's struggles. In her later years as
her health deteriorated, she was always looking on the bright
side. She was a member of the Sunny Brae Baptist Church
where they attended after Don retired from the Ministry. She
lived a Christian life and left an example to follow. Pat
was ready to go and meet her Heavenly Father and join all her loved
ones that have gone before her. She
didn't want her funeral to be a service of despair but to be
of hope and thankfulness, she would want us to see the new life she is
beginning and not the one she has
ended.
One of her hymns she picked was: Because He lives
and this verse says it all:
"And then one day ,We'll all cross that river, And
fight life's final war with pain, And then, as death gives way to
victory, I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know he
reigns."
She will be deeply missed by her husband, Rev. Don
MacDougall; her son, Jeff MacDougall (Wendy) of Hillsborough;
daughter, Leanne MacCallum (Dwight) of Moncton; her cherished
grandchildren, Jordan, David, Robynn (Jonathan), Jacob and
Grace (Joshua) precious great -grandchildren, Sadie, Willow and Owen;
