Sydney
Sadly, our dear mother, Pierrette MacLellan, passed away on Sunday, July 2, 2023, at the Cove Guest Home, Sydney, where she resided for the past seven years.
Born on November 15, 1935, in Montreal, QC, Pierrette was the daughter of the late Alphonse and Marie-Jeanne (Legault) Armand.
Pierrette moved to Sydney in 1940 where her father would open his furrier business. Later, mom would learn his trade and followed with a career as a finisher at Vogue Furriers for 25 years.
Mom took great pride as home maker and she was an incredible cook, could grow any plant, and created with love, so many knitting and crochet projects. Pierrette adored her grandchildren, she was funny, and had an incredible smile.
Mom is survived by her sons, John (Alana) Pearson, Sydney, Paul (Holly) Pearson, Alberta, Dennis Pearson, Alberta, and Bernie Pearson, British Columbia; her only daughter, Deneyse (Terry) Johnston, Sydney; sisters, Lise MacDougall, Sydney and Violet Hines, Ontario; grandchildren, Michael, Jason, Chandra, Crystal, Mylissa, Trista, Chad, Cory and 14 great-grandchildren.
Besides her parents, Pierrette was predeceased by her husband, Paul MacLellan; in-laws, Ronald and Margaret MacLellan, and brothers-in-law, Lawrence MacDougall and Thomas Hines.
The family would like to thank the entire staff of the Cove for their care, kindness and respect for our mother. You are second to none.

Our deepest condolences to Pierrettes family. I have fond memories of visiting with Pierrette and Paul out at their place in Millville, before I moved to Calgary. And it was great to be able to visit her when she moved out here to Red Deer. She had an amazing talent with the plants she had decorating her apartment. She always made us feel so welcome.

Deneyse and Family my condolences on the passing of your mother .My thoughts And Payer are with you.
My deepest condolences to John, Paul, Dennis, Bernie and Deneyse, love and thought. I’m thinking about my Aunt Pierrette, and remembering her wonderful sense of humour; her creative abilities evident in the many knitted and crocheted gifts; her love for my Mom’s paintings and finding the right spot to hang them, and of course her fashion sense. Auntie P. Instilled in me the need for wedgies. As a kid, going to Auntie Pierrette’s meant freshly baked goods and it didn’t matter what kind because it was all awesome. Auntie P. You had a heart of gold and you loved us. You are loved by many and will be missed by all who loved and knew you. Rest in peace my dear Aunt. Thinking of everyone today, and sending love. Josie and Jeff
