It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Kathy Frances (MacNeil) Bunyan in the Port Hawkesbury Nursing Home on Wednesday, September 30, 2020. Born February 28, 1958, Kathy was the daughter of the late Francis A MacNeil and Isabel C. (MacIntyre) MacNeil. Kathy is survived by her loving husband of 39 years, John Bunyan of Troy; sons, Paul (Sara), Neil (Megan), daughter, Jackie (Cody) and two adorable grandchildren, Sam and Claire. Also left to mourn her passing are sisters, Bernadette MacNeil, Barbara MacKinnon (Harvey), Liz Johnston (Brian), Viola MacLeod (Gillis), brothers, Carl MacNeil (Cathy), Barry MacNeil (Carol), sisters in law Deborah Graham (Tommy), Tammy Delorey (Bob), Frances Chambers and brother-in-law, Bill Bunyan. Kathy was loved and adored by her nieces and nephews and will be missed by aunts, uncles and many special cousins, friends and neighbors. Kathy was predeceased by her parents, Francis and Isabel Mac Neil; brother, John Francis, in infancy; brother, Gary MacDonald and her daughter, Carly, with whom a promise of reunion brings us great comfort. Kathy will always be remembered for her great love of family, natural radiance, acceptance of everyone, free spirited sense of adventure, her kindness and generosity. Kathy loved to travel with John and the kids, she was the ultimate sports Mom and inspired us all with her gardening talents.
