It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Golda Maureen Redden on June 27, 2023, surrounded by her loved ones.  Born in Halifax, Golda was the second daughter of the late Frank and Mabel (Dugas) MacRae.   Surviving are her sons, Samuel, Daniel (Kathleen), Grant (Coleen), daughter, Melissa (Craig), grandchildren, Ryan, Dorian (Chantelle), Tyrone (Sarah-Lynn), Chantel, Richard, Harmony, Martina, Aurora, and Savanna, great-grandchildren, Brooke, Alexis, Emma, CJ, Jah’Mari, Mia and Ava.  Golda is also survived by sisters, Theresa, Betty, Christine and June-Ann as well as brothers-in-law, Kenneth and Joseph.  Predeceased are her husband of 40 years, Grant William Redden, sisters, Linda, Judy, Noel, Martha (at birth) and brother, Wayne, great-grandchildren, Jacob, Jeremy and Alya, Golda was also predeceased by brothers in- law, John, Raymond, Merle, Ford and his twin brother, Floyd, Charles Bill, Mike and Gordie; sisters-in-laws, Marguerite, Pauline, Shirley, Kathleen and Annie, as well as several nieces and nephews.  Throughout her life Golda, was employed at several jobs in the restaurant sector, Ben’s Bakery, and finally settled into the profession of a para-legal and retired from this position after the passing of her boss and dear friend, Arthur Hare, in late 2010.  Although retired Golda, continued to act on several files and assisted whenever called upon.  Golda’s main focus throughout her life was her unyielding love and dedication to her husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  Golda actively participated in all the milestones of all her loved ones, was the source of encouragement to pursue all dreams and aspirations, but most importantly, was the foundational rock that we all found solace and strength in during our times of need.  Golda’s love for her family and friends was so steadfast it was unquestionable that she was an absolute angel amongst us.  

The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses from the QEII Infirmary site for the care and compassion they showed Golda during her stay. 

We the family pray that you rest peacefully our sweet beautiful angel, until we have the great fortune of seeing you again.
