It is with sadness that we, the family, announce the passing of Lillian Clare MacMaster, 70, of New Victoria, on Tuesday, July 5, 2016, at home.

Born in New Waterford, she was a daughter of the late Archie and Muriel (Baker) Kearney.

In earlier years, Lillian was employed at the GI Plant in Sydney. She enjoyed playing cards, listening to country music and was known for her love of chocolate. Her greatest passion, however, was spending time with her grandchildren, family and friends.

Surviving are daughter, Lorraine MacMaster, New Victoria; sons Robert (Michelle) MacMaster, New Waterford, Alexander (Darla) MacMaster, Windsor, ON, Kevin (Lynn) MacMaster, Sydney; sisters Judy McNeil, Ontario, Loretta McAulay, Donna (Kevin) Forward, both of New Waterford; grandchildren, Ashley, Robert, Gregory, Heather, Zachary, Jordon, Stephanie, Aiden, and Kendall; great-grandchild, Talia; many nieces and nephews.

Besides her parents, Lillian was predeceased by her husband Archibald 'Red Archie' MacMaster, son, Gerald 'Hornet' MacMaster, and sister, Ellen Kearney.

There will be no visitation or funeral service. Cremation has taken place under the care and direction of V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, 380 Smith Street, New Waterford. A graveside service will be held in St. Joseph Cemetery, New Victoria, at a later date. Online expressions of sympathy may be sent to the family at: www.vjmcgillivray.ca.
