MacAULAY, Florence Catherine "Tootsie" - It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of "Tootsie" MacAulay, 84, of Whycocomagh, who departed peacefully surrounded by loved ones on Thursday, April 19, 2018, in the Inverness Consolidated Memorial Hospital. The daughter of the late John and Mary Florence MacInnis, Tootsie was born in Whycocomagh, where she later married Willie MacAulay, raised her children, made memories with her grandchildren, and looked after "the boys" at the Esso throughout the years with her daily "lunch." She was an avid member of the Stewart United Church and UCW for many years, contributing to their fundraisers and events. Her home was always spotless and her oven was always on, making her much-loved brownies, shortbread, and other recipes that she knew by heart. She will be remembered as a resilient, kind, strong-willed, peppermint-loving, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend. She is survived by her children, Bruce (Mel), BC; Heather, Timberlea; Curtis (Connie), Aberdeen; and Dale (Eileen), Whycocomagh, seven grandchildren, Chrystal (Paul), Kelly (Justin), Karen, Breann (Wade), Ryan, Shelby, Jane, and great-grandson, Kian Rhyno.
