V.W. Bro. Winston Macdonald: A Pillar of Brotherhood

For more than four decades, V.W. Bro. Winston Macdonald has stood as a steadfast example of what it truly means to be a Freemason. A man of integrity, humility, and boundless dedication to the Craft. With 44 years of service to the Masonic fraternity and 19 remarkable years as Treasurer of The Builders’ Lodge, his contributions have gone far beyond the call of duty. He has helped to steer the Lodge through countless seasons, not only balancing the books with precision, but balancing the needs of his brethren with heart and wisdom.

Highly respected throughout the Masonic community, Winston is known not just for his role, but for his character. He brings steadiness where it is needed, mentorship when it is sought, and warmth that quietly encourages others to rise to their best selves. His commitment to the principles of brotherly love, relief, and truth shines through in everything he does, from ritual to fellowship, and from Lodge administration to the simple, quiet gestures that make someone feel like they truly belong.

Beyond the Lodge, Winston’s light continues to shine. As a dedicated Shriner, he has never hesitated to step forward in support of philanthropic efforts, especially those that touch the lives of children and families in need. His involvement in Shrine charity work is not for praise or recognition, but driven by a genuine desire to make a difference.

And standing by his side through it all is his sweetheart of a wife, Trudy. Warm, gracious, and always willing to lend a helping hand, Trudy is more than just a supportive partner, she is a cherished member of our Masonic family in her own right.

Thank you for the years of unwavering service, for the compassion and grace you bring, and for being a cornerstone of our Masonic Lodge. Your legacy of loyalty and light will continue to inspire us at The Builders’ Lodge.
