PROCTOR, Mary "Kaye" Kathleen (nee MacNamara) of MacIntyre Lake – Beloved mother, nanny, great-grandmother, great- great-grandmother, "Nanny P" and aunt passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 21st, 2020, in Strait Richmond Hospital, Evanston at the age of 95. Her time had come and she accepted it with the bravery and grace she had lived her whole life – and reaching out for dad’s hand. She’s no longer in pain but our grief for her passing is not ours alone for the whole world is lesser without her in it. Born on May 5, 1925 in Lower River Inhabitants, to the late Edward R. and Mary Ellen (Murphy) MacNamara. Mom was a stay at home mother for much of her life but also tried her hand at teaching, jewelry making and sales. Her favourite job was being Nanny P to the many families that she worked for as a nanny. She leaves behind sons, Bernie (Sandi), Lower River Inhabitants; Ronnie, Evanston; Steve, MacIntyre Lake; and Allan (Marilyn), Sampsonville; daughters: Patsy Mooring, Port Hawkesbury; Mary MacDonald (Angus), Prince George, BC; Elaine, Lower River Inhabitants; Dianne Hunt (Randy), Mackenzie, BC; Sandra MacInnis (Dennis), Antigonish; 23 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter.

Mom’s writing skills were magical as was her ability to give to others. The foundations of her life were faith and family; she gave selflessly and always had enough for everyone.

Raising children and grandchildren in her subtle style, teaching us love and life; we walk on, touched by her grace and better for having loved her.
