Martin, Margaret (nee Young) age 72
Our beloved mother, wife, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend Margaret Martin passed away on October 17th, 2024, surrounded by family at the Maison McCulloch Hospice Sudbury.
Maggie leaves behind her husband and best friend Brendan Martin and their children from previous marriages – Darran Cousins (Genevieve Roy), Breanne McGuire (Ryan), Shawn Martin (Nancy) and Shelley Martin. She was an extremely loved “Nanny” by her grandchildren - Brittany, Eloise, Austen, Kelton, Talia, Dakota, Piper, Ethan, Kyle, Leah, Caleb and Torie. Maggie was a loving sister to Christine, Ann, Sandra and Susan and the best of friend to Vicki Ryan, Ann Dodd, co-workers from her career at Workplace Safety Insurance Board and people throughout her neighbourhood.
Margaret (Maggie) was born April 13th, 1952, in Johannesburg, South Africa but spent most of her childhood on the beaches of Bournemouth, England. She immigrated to Canada in 1973 moving to Sudbury where she raised two children and had a career working for the Workplace Safety Insurance Board. Her passion/hobbies earlier in life was taking care of her two children, maintaining her home and having good relationships with friends. Later in life her passion became visiting and spending time with her grandchildren in Baden and Montreal, walking her dog, biking and travelling with her husband Brendan to anywhere she could see the sun, lakes and oceans. Maggie’s joy and positive energy for life was obvious, contagious and appreciated by everyone who knew her well. She will be missed by all who knew her.
At Maggie’s request there will be no funeral service, but a celebration of life will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers we ask that you please donate money to the Canadian Cancer Society and/or to the Sudbury Hospice – Maison McCulloch Hospice.
The family would like to thank Maison McCulloch Hospice for the exceptional support in making Maggie’s last days peaceful.
