Roxena Maria MacEachern

MacEachern - Roxena M., 78, of Liverpool, Queens County, passed away peacefully in Queens General Hospital, Liverpool on Saturday, August 9, 2025 after a brief illness that she faced with bravery and class.

Born in Milton, Roxena was a daughter of the late Enos and Roxena (Farmer) Wentzell.

Roxena believed in supporting the community and volunteered to teach Sunday School and held a seat on the school board. She made her career as a home support worker and was very proud of helping people. Roxena was always found in the kitchen preparing delicious meals or baking up a storm (a tradition she has passed on to her grandchildren). Food was her language of love. No one ever left her home hungry or without sweet treats for later. She also had a love for Christmas.

Roxena is survived by her daughters Darlene (James) Wamboldt of Pleasantfield; Dawn (Mikhail) Porozov of Milton; Denise (Adam) Burgess of Hubbards. Grandchildren Nicholas (David), Nathan, Nicole, Bailey, Jordan, Caillum and Ainsley and great grandchildren James and Michael. Her sisters Jean Oickle of New Minas; Belinda DeLong of Beach Meadows; Myra (Clay) Thistle of Milton; Marilyn Anthony of Liverpool; LouAnne (Michael) Alexander of Molega and Sherry (Kevin) LeRoy of Halifax. Her brothers Frederick (Sharon) of Kentville and Enos of Bridgewater.

Besides her parents, Roxena was predeceased by her husband John, her sisters Alice Nowe and Wendy Wentzell and her brothers Ray, Burton, and infant brother Stephen.

Cremation has taken place under the direction of Chandlers’ Funeral Home, Liverpool, NS. A graveside funeral service will be held at a later date in St. Gregory’s Catholic Cemetery, Liverpool. No flowers. Donations to a charity of your choice. Online condolences may be made below.
