MARGARET CARR
1934 - 2012
On Tuesday, October 30, 2012 after a
brief but courageous battle with cancer, it is with deep regret that we
announce the passing of our mother, wife, grandmother, sister, aunt, and
friend. Margaret passed away at home with her family and her loyal dog Murphy
by her side.
Left to cherish Margaret’s memory are
her husband of 56 years of marriage, Albert “Harry”; sons Tony (Kelly) and
granddaughter Hayley, Graeme (Terri) and Paul. She is also survived by her
sister Elizabeth McCormick; as well as numerous nieces and nephews across
Canada and the U.K.
In 1934 Margaret was born in Shiremoor,
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. She married her husband Harry in 1956. In 1970
together with their three sons they immigrated to Canada but never lost touch
with their Geordie roots.
Margaret enjoyed her career in the
health care industry, eventually retiring from the Misericordia Hospital
allowing her to spend more time with her granddaughter. She was a passionate
Blue Jays, Bombers and Jets fan. She also enjoyed bingo and penny slots on
their trips south with friends.
In
compliance with Margaret’s wishes, a private family Service will be held.
A special thank you is extended to
Mom’s friends including Evelyn Laham, Florence Smart and niece Margaret
Ilderton who were always there for her. The family would also like to express
their heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful care provided by the staff of the
Grace Hospital 3rd floor.
In lieu of flowers, a donation can be
made to Cancer Care Manitoba, The Winnipeg Humane society or a charity of your
choice.
Wojcik’s Funeral Chapel is in care of
arrangements.
