Douglas A. MacFarlane 1946-2013 Doug MacFarlane of Riverview passed away suddenly at his residence on Monday, September 9, 2013. Born in Antigonish, he was the son of the late Dougald and Nora (Dyer) MacFarlane. Doug was retired from Via Rail after 40 years of service. He attended Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, was a former member of Jay Cees Riverview and a huge Blue Jays fan. He was a very social person who could always be seen walking around town chatting with friends and those who knew him. Doug loved a lot of things about life, but what he held most dear to his heart was his family – especially his six grandchildren. He will be dearly missed by his loving wife of 45 years, Carmie; son Troy (Shara) MacFarlane of Antigonish; daughter Jo-Lynn (Mike) Mullen of Riverview; his precious grandchildren, Jamie, Taylor, Isaac & Emily Mullen; and Edyn & Meghan MacFarlane; brothers, Joe (Anita) of Riverview, Kenny (Bernadette) of Antigonish; Donnie (Brenda) of Antigonish; sisters, Lillian (Mike) Power of Antigonish; Carol (Raymond) DeCoste of Pompquet; Dorothy Benoit of Pictou; and Mary (Kevin) Grant of Antigonish. Besides his parents, Doug was predeceased by a brother-in-law, Leonard Benoit. The family will be receiving friends and relatives at Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center 330 Whitepine Rd., Riverview (869-2007) on Wednesday from 2-4 and 7-9pm with parish prayers taking place at 8:30pm. A service celebrating Doug’s life will take place on Thursday, September 12, 2013 from Immaculate Heart of Mary Church (Fatima Dr., Riverview) at 11am with Father Phil Mulligan officiating. The burial will follow in Alderwood Cemetery. Donations made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be greatly appreciated by the family.
