Margaret SINCLAIR Obituary

SINCLAIR, Margaret Mary: October 16, 1960 - June 29, 2021 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Margaret Mary Sinclair; beloved and devoted mother, sister, aunt, friend, lover. Margaret "Maggie" lived life fully - she had such a vivacious and exuberant personality with boundless amounts of energy and enthusiasm... when she was happy it was infectious and everyone around would be cheered. She was the youngest of four children and, as the baby, she grew accustomed to the limelight early on. She was a musician (violin), and an athlete (synchronized swimming, avid skier); she was a cheerleader for the Edmonton Eskimos and was involved in many activities. Margaret made friends wherever she went. Margaret kept her passion for skiing all of her life. She loved travelling, boating, camping and enjoyed being with her friends at the lake. After a successful career in sales, Margaret's primary focus was her children and her family. Later in life she became a teaching assistant for special needs children, which was not easy for her, but from which she grew a lot in understanding and compassion. Her loss will be deeply felt by all. Margaret is survived by her son Parker; daughter Alison; friend and companion Carl Rush; bosom buddy Rozana Lattanville; brothers Christopher and Brian Cheshire; sister Diane Charles; and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Molly and Charlie Cheshire and her niece Yvonne Robichaud. A Private Funeral will be held to honour Margaret, however due to the current pandemic restrictions it will be by invitation only. The family would like to invite all who want to pay their respects to join by Livestream on THURSDAY, AUGUST 12 AT 10:00 AM. A recording will be made available to view shortly thereafter.

I remember in my Grade 12 year I had Maggie as my educational assistant for two of my classes in my first semester. She always brought light and positivity to my class and was one of the nicest educational assistants I've ever had throughout my school years. I'm very heartbroken to hear about the tragic news through a good friend and wish the Sinclair family my condolences. Maggie, you will be missed by everyone you enlightened at KSS.

Profoundly sad day - the day I say goodbye to someone that was more than a friend. I called her my sister, my kindred spirit. I first met Margaret seven years ago at Christina Lake where we fast became friends. I can say we "clicked" immediately and our friendship blossomed into one of love and tremendous respect. We had a lot in common - we were single moms wading thru the challenges of raising children and finding our way through the "singles" world. I became know as her brown sugar sista and she my white sista. We had wonderful and memorable times together - belly laughs, cooking, fine wine, camping, the yacht club, spending time together just enjoying each other together with our children and just "shooting the breeze." And we talked endlessly about absolutely nothing, you know how women are. And how can I forget clothes! We both loved clothes and we would constantly jump into each other's. She was my Margareeeet, my confidant, my go to person when I needed a place of solace, peace and relaxation. I enjoyed tranquility and harmony when with her. Maggie was a wonderful human being, kind, generous...to a fault, thoughtful and warm. I learned so much from her that I became a better person. My life was enriched and blessed having met her. The bond we shared was unbreakable, the love cherished and carried with us each and every day. I love and miss you my sister. You will always have a special place in my heart and will forever be remembered. I hope that you will be blessed in the
after life as you were in this life. Goodbye my sista. I will love you forever. "I am better for knowing you, better for you, better for having met you. May you be as blessed in the next life, my friend, as I was in this one by knowing you.”

My sweet friend Maggie I can’t believe you are gone. You were always so kind to me. We lived together in Vancouver and then you opened your home in Kelowna when I moved there. You always took care of me and I loved it! Once you had your children you gave them all of your love and more. I will miss you until we meet again. Your love will be with me forever

I am deeply saddened to learn about the sudden death of Maggie, a former Organon colleague and 25+ year friend. I have wonderful memories of when we first met as new hires, in our week long training program in Toronto. We instantly clicked and shared laughter! So many wonderful and fun memories of attending NSMs in Arizona, Montreal, Vancouver, Quebec City and more. Maggie made the best room mate for the company trip to Holland and I have great memories of being bridesmaids together for our colleague's wedding in Halifax. When we were no longer with the same company we maintained our friendship and had visits with each other in BC and in Ottawa, as well as phonecalls to catch up.
Maggie lived on the sunny side of life and when she was in the room it was as if a window had been opened and fresh air blew through, with bright beams of sunshine following - bubbly,energetic, positive, easy going, nurturing, fun and enthusiastic. Maggie saw the good in others. She was a wonderful friend to many and a dedicated and loving mother to her children. May you rest in peace dearest Maggie and know the great gift of joy and friendship that you brought to me and so many. My deepest condolences to her children Alison and Parker whom she loved so much and to her family and all who knew and loved her.

I want to celebrate Maggie. Maggie always loved a celebration, birthdays, special occasions or just friends getting together.
She was my best friend in Kelowna. I met Maggie at a hospital display in Vernon when we were both working in the pharmaceutical industry. She gave me her number and we quickly became friends. It turned out that Maggie and I lived about two blocks from each other. Maggie showed me how to really take care of your friends. I used to come over to her place and she would push up the ottoman and put my feet on it, bring me a throw to make sure I was warm enough and serve me food and drinks. She treated her friends with such kindness, unlike anyone I had ever met. She had such kindness The world will miss her sparkle, caring and love. Maggie always had time for her friends. I waterskied and snowskied with Maggie, saw Maggie get married, start her family, and then I moved to Vancouver. We always saw each other when she would come down or I would come back to Kelowna. No matter how long it had been since we had seen each other it was always like no time had passed. We would catch up on how our lives were going, the struggles and the good stuff. Maggie will be missed terribly by everyone who knew her and all the lives that she touched. I always expect that my friends will always be there. This is a good reminder that sometimes tragically they won’t be. Remember to tell your friends that you love them. But then Maggie knew that we all loved her.
