Carol Jean MacPhee, 76, of Moncton and formerly of Hillsborough passed away peacefully on January 7th, 2025 at the Albert House Hospice with her loving family by her side. Carol was born in Moncton, NB, on December 10th, 1948 the daughter of the late James Henry and Virginia Dora (Wilson) Stannard.

 

She will be deeply missed by the love of her life of 55 years, husband Ed MacPhee; her one and only treasured daughter, Linda King (Stephen) of Riverview; her precious granddaughters, Marlee and Allison; sister, Brenda Douthwright of Moncton and brother, Tom Stannard (Libby) of Salem.  She will also be missed by her in-laws, extended family, several nieces, nephews and friends.

 

Besides her parents she was predeceased by an infant brother, Paul and brother, James Stannard Jr.

 

Carol's first priority was being a  homemaker when her family was young.  She later worked outside the home at Caledonia Regional High in the cafeteria where she got to know several students.  She worked at the Salem & Hillsborough Railway.   She cleaned for many people, and was well known for leaving things spotless and establishing a great reputation in her community.  She enjoyed playing cards, dice and yahtzee but her main passion was going to Yard Sales and Flea Markets.  Her and Ed spent numerous hours looking for their treasures on their many trips all over Albert County, Sussex, Shediac and even as far as Maine. She was thrilled when her daughter, Linda, met and married Stephen,  he truly was a son to her.  Then her granddaughters, Marlee and Allison came and they were her world.  She was so fortunate to be able to keep the girls when they were young and made so many memories, Nano was the best!  Carol was the heart of the family and she was there for anything they needed. She had a smile that brightened any room she entered. Her attributes were always unselfish, understanding, influential and inspiring.  "We were so lucky to have you in our lives, you will live in our hearts forever."

 

Carol felt so blessed for the care that Ed gave her over the past couple of years, he was a dedicated caretaker and she appreciated it so much.  She was also so grateful to have Linda, Stephen, Marlee and Alli be there for her as they all cared for her unconditionally with love all throughout her illness.
