Obituary of Kirsten McNeil

Kirsten Lyndelle McNeil

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our daughter Kirsten McNeil on December 10, 2019 at the age of 26. Born in Glace Bay, she spent the majority of her young age at the IWK due to a heart condition. Her joy and happiness for life will live on with all of us forever.

Kirsten enjoyed working at The Cape Society, where she was involved in many activities throughout the community. Singing, dancing, bowling and going to bingo with Nana are only  few of the many joys in her life. Kirsten’s smile and extreme happiness in life was contagious and infectious to anyone who has ever met her.

Kirsten is survived by her parents Jerome and Helen McNeil, sister Brooklyn, grandmother’s Edna McNeil and Mary McNeil. She is also survived by aunts and uncles; JR and Kelly McNeil, Charlene and Bernie McNeil, April and Frank Bettens, Jennifer MacNeil and Jamie Nearing, as well as close friend Vangie Snow and many cousins.

She was predeceased by her grandfather’s Peter McNeil and Pius McNeil.

Special thank you to Dr. Craig Stone and Dr. Paul MacDonald, as well as the staff at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, your compassion and kindness expressed to Kirsten and our family will never be forgot.

Visitation for Kirsten will be held on Friday, December 13, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., with service to follow at 12 p.m. at T.J. Tracey Cremation and Burial Specialists, 370 Reserve St., Glace Bay. (902-849-4199).

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to The Cape Society, 40 Lower McLean St., Glace Bay.
