It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mansel Robert Legacy, at home in Ottawa, on Friday February 28, 2025, in his 85th year. Beloved husband for 43 years to Willow Legacy (nee Cameron).
Loving Father of Jacqueline, Mansel Jr. (Tracey), Martin, and Marci. Proud grandfather of Mark, Paul (Breanna), Tyler, and grand-pug Chance Legacy. Great grandfather of Adeline and Eleanor Legacy.
Mansel was born and raised in Sault Ste. Marie and predeceased by parents Leonard and Margaret Legacy (nee DeFazio). Brother of the late John (Rosemary), Michael (Gloria), Barbara (late Bobby Beaudette), and Len (Bonnie) Legacy.
Son-in-law of Herman Cameron (late Shirley) and brother-in-law of the late Evelyn McLean (Murray), Margaret & Fred McQueen, Kathleen Lavergne (late Larry), and Nancy & Roger Travaglini. Much loved uncle to many nieces and nephews.
Mansel will forever remain in our hearts and we will miss him dearly.
Mansel worked as a Customs Inspector at the port of Sault Ste. Marie until he made his way to Ottawa, elected as National President of the Customs & Excise Union serving his members for 5 terms. A proud achievement on his part. Once leaving CEUDA (union) he worked at Customs Headquarters in Ottawa until his retirement.
The Family would like to thank CBI Nursing, Bayshore PSW's and Total Footcare (Hospital Rehabilitation Center) for all the care provided to Mansel over the years.
