Myra MacDonald Obituary
MacDONALD, Myra Faye
February 22, 1938 - August 16, 2025
With heavy hearts we mourn the loss of our beautiful mother, Myra Faye MacDonald, who passed away peacefully on August 16, 2025, at the age of 87.
She is survived by her two daughters, Cheryl (Ian) MacMillan and Kathleen (Richard) Hill, her two loving grandchildren, Andrew (Ciara) and Rachel, her oldest sister Joyce and many nieces and nephews. Myra is predeceased by her only husband and loving friend, Ron Lew MacDonald, parents Isambard and Kathleen Critoph, sister Iris, two brothers-in-law Bill and Frank, who were both like big brothers to her.
Myra was born in Raymond, Alberta. Her family lived in a small log cabin that her father built. We can still visit the family cabin, preserved at the Claresholm Museum. At a young age, her family came to Vancouver Island. For a short time, they lived in Quatsino and Cape Scott before settling back in Victoria. Although the time was short on the rugged north coast with all its wildlife, it left Myra with an adventurous heart, a love of animals and a 'love life' attitude. One of her fondest memories was when her father helped her cook her first turkey dinner while they were floating down Vancouver Island's coastline from Cape Scott on a barge.
As a young woman, she loved her time with family, whether in the logging camps, on their fishing boats or flying in her brother-in-law's bush plane. She would frequently hit the road in her new car, taking along her parents on site seeing road trips.
After coming home from Bible College in Three Hills and taking a government job, she made her first big purchase - a piano - as she loved music, singing and dancing. Then, while furniture shopping with her mother at MacDonald's Furniture, she met her future husband, Ron. With a hard-working husband, she was a mother that could clean the fish, sew the costumes, chop the wood, hang the Christmas lights, unclog the drains and oversee the construction of our new house.
She was a wonderful mother, painter, seamstress, gardener and enjoyed the outdoors and her animals, but most of all she loved her family and her faith and trust in Jesus.
We will miss your wonderful smile mom, 'meme', your contagious laugh and caring kind heart to all. We honour our mom, our best friend and our spiritual mentor. We were so very blessed to have you, and we say goodbye for now.
A Graveside Service will be held at Royal Oak Burial Park, 4673 Falaise Drive, Victoria, BC on September 2nd, 2025, at 2:00pm followed by a reception in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria, BC.
