Mackey, Eunice M.

(nee Headrick)

Died at the Ottawa Civic Hospital on Wednesday, September 8, 2021, at the age of 100 years plus 9 months.  WOW!  A life well lived.

Beloved wife of the late Ken Mackey.  Daughter of the late James and Ada Headrick.  Much loved mother of Don (Jana) Mackey and Heather (Brian) Gibson.  Cherished grandmother of Ryan (Michelle) Mackey, Kimberley (Clinton) Carnegie, Julie Gibson (Heather Smith) and Jessica (Kristian) Haynes.  Loving great grandmother to Kennedy and Rowan Wormsley, Victoria, Isabelle and Alice Haynes, Liam and Olivia Mackey and Sierra and Sadie Carnegie.  She will be sadly missed by her sister-in-law Lois Dool, cousin Janice Berger and many nieces and nephews.  Eunice was predeceased by her sister and brother-in-law Mabel and Lorne Jones, brother and sister-in-law, Alex and Olive Headrick, brother-in-law and sister-in-law Norman and Kaye Mackey and brother-in-law Lorne Dool.

Mom was always interested in what was going on in the world near and far.  She cared about and was interested in the lives of all her family and friends.

We would like to thank all the caring Staff at Park Place Retirement Residence, who, for 6 years made her life as comfortable and as pleasurable as was possible.  Special thanks to the great staff on 5A and the palliative team at the Civic Campus.
