It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Annie Mae (MacRury) MacInnis, 77, on Thursday, January 6 in Halifax Infirmary surrounded by her loving family. Annie Mae was born in Soapstone Mines, August 3rd, 1944 to the late Effie Hawley and Roddie MacDonald. She was a hard worker from an early age, having left home to work at The Village Inn in Whycocomagh and continue attending school at the age of 12. She married the love of her life, Peter MacInnis, in 1961 and moved to East Skye Glen to start their family. Annie Mae took care of everyone. The family home was a place to gather for those who were away, and Annie Mae welcomed them all and fed them. Together with Peter, they raised six children of their own and were a saving grace to many foster children throughout the years. Annie Mae was a cleaner for various people and businesses in the community and spent time in the kitchens of Vi’s Restaurant and The Farmer’s Daughter making lasting friendships at each place. Annie Mae was in her glory spending time with her 12 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren and loved when they all got together, especially around a campfire or for a cup of tea. Annie Mae was a member of the Stewart United Church, UCW, and had a strong sense of faith. She was an amazing baker, best known for her biscuits and shortbread cookies that could be found at various socials, weddings, card games and Ceilidhs in Inverness County.
