It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Donald Kenneth McNulty, who on Monday, October 6, 2025, passed away at Kenneth E. Spencer Memorial Home and immediately found his new home with Jesus in glory. Don was the son of the late Seymour and Susan (Trites) McNulty and was the last remaining member of his immediate family.
Don will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Fern and his children: Lynn Webster (Tom), Patty Murray (Chuck), and Troy Kenneth McNulty (Trena).
He will also be dearly missed by his grandchildren: Jodey (Glenn), Amy, Gregg (Julie), Christy Leigh (predeceased 2018), Vickie (Matt), Rebekah, Samarah (Nick), Isaiah (Alicia), and Josiah (Valerie); as well as his great-grandchildren: Cassie, Timothy, Caleb, Liam, Nigel, Sophie, Nataleigh, France, Charlotte, Charles, Georgia-Joy, Serafina, Harvey, Hank, Londyn and Millen.
Besides his parents, Don was predeceased by his first wife Jeanette and siblings Percy, Boyd, Aubrey, Yvonne, and Sue.
Throughout Don’s career, he was mostly employed at the CNR Shops, doing upholstery work. Don was meticulous in his work and was proud of the work he did, including being part of the team that refurbished the rail cars celebrating Canada’s Centennial birthday.
Folklore suggests that Don also took a stab at sales, selling used cars for a while. Those skills came in handy when making his pitch to Trena, Chuck, and Tom to take his kids off his hands!
Don was blessed to have two very special ladies in his life. Jeanette, his wife, the mother of his children, passed away far too young. Later marrying Fern, they enjoyed their lives together. They loved wintering in Florida, the many outings with their friends and so many special times with the family.
Dad’s faith was in salvation with Jesus. He lived out his faith. He was active on many boards and his greeting while ushering on Sunday mornings may have included some teasing as he passed you a bulletin. Dad spent many hours working with a group of men doing maintenance around the church. He loved the work and he loved the banter!
He was affectionately known as Dad, Grampie, Grampie-ampie, Grandpa, Gpa, Papa Don and Big Don.
We have such happy memories of our life with you and with these memories in our hearts you will always live on.
You will be missed.
