Irene (Gardiner) MacLean
Glace Bay
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Irene (Gardiner) McLean, 85, of Glace Bay, NS on November 3, 2022. Born in Glace Bay, she was the daughter of the late George and Blanche (Bradbury) Gardiner.
She is survived by her brother, George 'Junior' Gardiner and many nieces and nephews.
Irene was predeceased by her parents, her sister Alice (Gardiner)Popwell and her husband, Rod MacLean.
Irene was loved by all who knew her. She was a generous, kind, and caring person. And could she bake! Everyone remembers her famous cheesecake! No one ever left that house without a little something.
Irene established a legacy of wonderful service and built long lasting relationships during her many years in retail.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Carol Boutilier for her devoted care and friendship to Irene; to Trish MacDonald and Donna MacLellan for their loving care and kindness to Irene; and to Joey Barrett for being a great friend and support for many years.
Cremation has taken place. A private family service will take place at a later date.
Memorial donations may be made to the IWK or to a charity of your choice. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to T.J. Tracey Cremation and Burial Specialists.
