Obituary of Bob MacMillan

Peacefully at the Provincial Palliative Care Centre, Charlottetown on Sunday, August 18, 2024 the death occurred of Robert Malcolm “Bob” MacMillan, of Cornwall, age 73 years. 

 

Beloved husband of Kathy (Docherty). Loving father of Abby-Lynn MacMillan and Christopher (Natalia Saldarriaga) and beloved fur baby Rosie who never left his side. Robert will be missed by his siblings Jeannie Doucette (Clifford, deceased) and Dianne Gass, deceased (Ronnie). Brother-in-law of Arlene MacDonald (Allistair), Lorna Roberston (Bruce, deceased), Thelma Gillespie (Douglas, deceased) and our unofficial adopted twin sisters Darlene MacDonald (Blake) and Donalda Docherty. Also lovingly remembered by numerous nieces and nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews. Bob and Kathy's greatest passion was traveling with friends, doing work on the farm with his tractor and manning the Barbeque for friends and family.

 

Resting at Hillsboro Funeral Home.  An informal visitation will be held at the family home (144 Ferry Road, where Bob grew up) on Wednesday, August 21, 2024 from 4-7 pm. Close family and friends will be invited to attend a Celebration of Life at a later date to celebrate Bob’s life.

We are so blessed to have our family and friends who have helped us through this difficult cancer journey. A special thank you to the many therapists and doctors who have tried to get Bob diagnosed and a very special thanks to Dr. Jones who finally made it happen. The Palliative Care team and volunteers could not have been more compassionate in helping ease our pain to the very end. They are certainly angels at work on earth.
