MacKey, Loyola Edward "Mack"

Loyola Edward Mackey (Mack) passed peacefully away from Pleasant View Towers after a courageous battle with Lewy Body Dementia, two weeks shy of his 79th birthday. Leaving to mourn his devoted partner of over thirty years, Gail Durdle, who was by his side everyday. His daughters, Renee (Brad) Winsor and Karen (Stephen) Noseworthy and their mother Sandra. Grandchildren, Jack, Maggie, Peyton and Ben and Gail’s daughters, Natasha (Colin) Feehan and Melanie Gordon (Chris) along with their sons, Nolan and Ethan. Sisters, Beth (Harry) Snow, Jean (Tom) Barron, Marg Pannock and Sister Alice Mackey. As well as, numerous nieces and nephews, extended family and friends. As a Softball Hall of Fame pitcher some of Mackey’s happiest and fondest memories were on the softball field where he had many friends and maybe as many enemies at times, but no grudges ever held. He lived the way he played sports with lots of passion. Even in his final days he would always be “pitching a ball”. His passion for sports carried over in watching his grandchildren on the ball field, rink and basketball court. A heartfelt thank you to all of the staff on 3SW Pleasantview Towers, along with Dr. Patel, for your compassion and care that you provided during his stay. We will be forever grateful for you all. Visitation to be held on Tuesday, February 7, from 2-9 p.m., at Caul's Funeral Home, 84 Lemarchant Road.
