Jose Maria (Joe) Macedo
Surrounded by his loving family Jose Maria (Joe) Macedo passed away peacefully on February 10, 2020 at the age of 87.
Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife of 59 years Maria Lucilia Macedo, his two sons Paul and Ben (Elizabeth), daughter Lucy (Gary), four grandchildren: Julian, Jordan, Luke & Anna, sister Oligia and sister-in-law Laura as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Joe immigrated to Canada from the Azores in 1957. His family joined him in 1969. He enjoyed a long career with NAR and CN railways. What he loved most was spending time in his garden and with his family. He especially cherished his grandchildren.
The Family would like to extend a special thank you to his previous physician Dr. McPeak, Dr. Newnham and all the staff at the Summit Clinic, the staff at Youville Long Term Care, especially those on Unit 5 and Rebecca Colborne, Nurse Practitioner.

Joe Macedo was the BEST father-in-law I could ever hope for. I loved him very much! He adored my two sons Julian and Jordan. He will live on in my heart forever! I wish to extend my sincere condolences and prayers for Lucy Macedo, and the entire Macedo family.
Dear Ben and Elizabeth
I was honoured to be part of Joe’s life as his nurse in the clinic. He was a pleasure to work with and tried hard to work through his health issues. Even when he was frustrated he always had a special smile for me. Wishing you both strength and comfort as you say goodbye to your father. He will be missed. Hugs for you.

Mrs. Macedo, Paul, Ben, Lucy,
I am so sorry to hear of Joe’s passing. He was truly a kind and considerate person and I always enjoyed our visits in my Edmonton years. I believe his focus was always his family, and he lived a long and full life surrounded by love.
I’ll always remember him trying to get me to 1) eat, and 2) quit flying. He was a wonderful gentleman, thoughtful and generous with his time, and he will be missed greatly.
Thinking of you at this difficult time.
