After battling a lengthy illness, Alana passed away peacefully, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, surrounded by her loving family. Alana was the first-born child of Al and the late Hughena (Whalen) MacIntyre. Alana had many great loves in her life; mainly her family, friends, and her love of God.

Also surviving are her uncles, John MacIntyre, Lou (Patsy) Whalen, and Rannie (Marylin) Whalen; her aunt, Lucy Jackson as well as many cousins; a special thank you to cousins, Anne (Wally) Hennessy (whom Alana considered a sister) and Jason Fowler.
