The family of Mary Elizabeth Lepp is deeply saddened to announce her passing on July 17, 2026. Mary, affectionately known as "Bizzie", passed away peacefully in the early morning at Sackville Memorial Hospital in Sackville, New Brunswick, with the love of her family surrounding her.
Bizzie was born on January 14, 1964, in Toronto, Ontario. She was predeceased by her parents, John MacDonald and Mary (Henderson), and brother, John MacDonald (Sharon). She is lovingly remembered by her devoted husband, Glen; her children, Matthew, Brian, Robbie, and Krista (Raphael Janisz); her sister, Heather (Jim Baskerville); her brothers, Peter (Lynn) and David MacDonald; and many nieces, nephews, extended family members, friends and family.
She devoted her early years of motherhood to caring for her children, husband, and home. She enjoyed time outdoors gardening, attending her children's baseball games, reading, and caring for the family's pets. Whether cheering (loudly) from the sidelines, tending her flowers and plants, or gathering for family dinners, she found peace and happiness in life's simple pleasures, and in the people she loved most.
Those who knew Bizzie will remember her infectious laugh, delightfully twisted sense of humour, strong spirit, and unwavering determination. She never backed down from a challenge or a debate. She was resilient, fiercely loyal, and deeply protective of the people and things she loved.
Later in life, Bizzie and Glen made their home in Cape Tormentine, New Brunswick, where they found joy and contentment in country living. Together they enjoyed watching wildlife, especially hummingbirds, tending their gardens, and spending peaceful days together.
The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and staff at Sackville Memorial Hospital for the compassionate care and kindness they showed Bizzie throughout her many hospital stays over the past several months. Their support and dedication brought comfort to the family and will always be remembered with sincere appreciation.
Bizzie's love, strength and humour leave a legacy that will endure in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever loved.
A time of visitation will take place on July 23, 2026, between 11 am and 1 pm at Jones Funeral Home's Port Elgin location, 3 West Main St, Port Elgin. A Celebration of Life will be held on July 25 from 1-4 pm at The Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 81, Cape Tormentine. Family and friends are warmly invited to gather to remember Bizzie, share stories, and celebrate a life filled with love, laughter, and devotion to her family.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Sackville Memorial Hospital Foundation.
