Denise “Dee” Lyn MacDonald passed away peacefully Monday, May 29, 2023 at her home.
A celebration of her life will be held Saturday, June 10th from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Dee’s and Mary’s home.
Dee was born February 8, 1957 in Charleroi, PA to Robert and Clara Colangelo MacDonald. She moved to Florida in 1976 and met her future wife there in 1977. She had a successful career in bank operations and upon moving to Concord, NC in 1998 continued to work in banking. She later moved to administrative roles in retail and private business.
Dee loved to travel and was an avid crafter. She enjoyed spending time with children because she’d say they were more honest, funnier and often smarter than grownups. She was generous with her time by volunteering to sit with Hospice patients so that their caregivers could step away for a while. She showed her love of animals by volunteering at an animal rescue facility.
Even throughout her lengthy illness, she remained positive, focused on the needs of others and never lost her sense of humor.
Dee is survived by her wife, Mary E. Britton and nephews Dana And Zachary Dowlin of Everett, PA
