  James Douglas Jim MacFarlane 1930 2022
  Posted on July 28, 2022 by Mary
  MacFarlane, James D. "Jim", of Antigonish, died peacefully on Wednesday, July 27, 2022. It is with great sadness, we announce the death of Jim, loving husband, devoted father, brother, uncle, and friend.
  
  Jim was born in Upper Margareee, Inverness County and was a son of the late John A. "Jack" MacFarlane and Alice B. (McDaniel) MacFarlane. He was a graduate of the St. FX University in 1953 and ordained to the priesthood in 1957. He served in many parishes in Antigonish Diocese and in Port Cartier East, Quebec until 1975. He then worked on various construction projects with Sunnyville Woodcrafters and also as Supervisor of Physical Facilities with the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Martha until retirement in 1997. At this point, he became the primary caregiver of his children. His life centered around the love of his immediate family, and he took great care of all of us.
  
  Jim is survived by his beloved wife of 30 years, Shirley and three sons, Ian, Steven and Daniel. He is survived by his sister, Sister Mary, CSM and many nieces and nephews and grand-nieces and grand-nephews. Jim was predeceased by his two brothers and their spouses, Harold (Margaret Ann) and Gerald (Libby) and his sister, Sister Margaret "Peggy" CSM.
  
  Cremation has taken place and Mass for the celebration of his life will take place on Monday, August 1, 2022, at St. Ninian Cathedral, Antigonish at 10:00 a.m. Jim's good and gracious
  friend, Father Allan MacMillian will be officiating. Upon Jim's request, visitation will not take place and a reception will not be held after the burial. Arrangements are under the direction of C.L Curry Funeral Services, Antigonish.
  
  The family wish to thank the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Martha for their generous support of prayer and love. We also thank Dr. Steve Gallant, Laurie and the doctors and nurses of the Cancer and Palliative Care Units, of St. Martha Hospital.
