1935 – 2026

James (Jim) MacDonald of Miramichi, New Brunswick, passed away peacefully at Percy’s Place on May 18, 2026, at the age of 91, surrounded by the love of his family.

Born in Loggieville, New Brunswick, on March 24, 1935, he was the son of the late Clarence and Effie (MacLean) MacDonald, and was one of 14 children.

Jim was predeceased by his beloved wife of 66 years, Shirley (Trevors) MacDonald, and three children, Amy, Barry, and Judy.

After 35 years with NB Tel, Jim enjoyed a retirement filled with woodworking and cherished moments with family and friends.

A devoted man of faith, Jim’s life was centred on his love for his family, and his faith guided him throughout his life. He had a great love for all his grandchildren, and in his later years he shared a special bond with his granddaughter, Samantha.
