On June 3rd, 2022, Mary Margaret Heffernan, affectionately known as Minnie, peacefully passed away at the RK MacDonald Nursing Home surrounded by her family.
A resident of South River Road, Minnie was the daughter of Jack and Florence (Tramble) Greencorn.
Minnie was a committed stay at home mother, always ensuring that her children were well taken care of. When her children were out on their own, she began her career at the RK MacDonald. A hard worker, she took great pride in caring for the residents. She particularly loved to bake biscuits to bring in for the residents and staff to share. Minnie was an avid bingo player and made sure that everyone knew that once bingo started, it had to be silent with the winner line on speed dial. She was a kind and patient woman. Minnie was extremely proud of all her grandchildren and enjoyed sharing their accomplishments with others.
She is survived by her husband of 57 years, Frank Heffernan; son, David (Eileen); daughter, Lisa (John) MacDonald; grandchildren, Andrea and Breanna Heffernan and Lauren, Andrew, and Brent MacDonald; siblings, Robert, Barbara (Tom) Connors, and Darlene Cameron.
Predeceased by son, Shawn, siblings, Walter, David, Billy, Johnny, Patsy, Mike, Bernie, and Donna.
