I'm so sorry to hear that Dr. Liz has passed away. I remember her so fondly from my childhood. She was always kind and gentle. I remember many times being the last patient of the day and being invited back for cookies! I hope that the memories you have will help you through this difficult time.

Dr. Leo, Nancy and family: we were saddened to read of Elizabeth's passing. We could always count on the expert care of the Doctors MacDonald for our daughters from infancy to their teenage years. Doctor Elizabeth heled so often with costumes for the musicals at the North Andover Middle School and then when she "retired" from the theatre, she donated her entire costume collection to the school. Dr. Elizabeth was certainly a terrific woman.
We hope that all the happy memories you have help you through this sad time.

So sorry to hear of Dr. MacDonald's passing. She was the pediatrician for our daughter when we lived in Lynn and was wonderful. It was surprising to us to learn that she and her husband moved to Plymouth where we have lived with our family for over 40 years! I remember going to their beautiful office/home for checkups. I remember her talking about her family with great love. Our thoughts are with the entire family!

We are so saddened to hear of Dr. Elizabeth MacDonald's passing. She will always hold a special spot in our heart because she diagnosed our daughter's rare condition. Her loving yet no nonsense manner as a pediatrician was a source of strength for me. That baby girl she and Dr Leo diagnosed and follow-up with her care grew up to be a loving responsible RN giving back to the medical world who saved her life. Our thoughts and prayers are with the MacDonald family.
