Margaret MACDONALD Obituary
MACDONALD, Margaret Isabella (Peggy) (nee Boyd)
March 28, 1924 - Sept 17, 2024
Peggy passed away peacefully at home on September 17th, 2024. Peggy was a beloved wife, mother, aunt, grandmother and great grandmother. She was predeceased by her husband Roy and brother George.
Peggy leaves her sons Lachlan (Fiona), Laurin (Karen), Graham (Roberta), and daughter Monica, grandchildren Jennifer, Caitlin (Shane), Robin, Mhairin (Matt), Cameron, Sydney (Alex), and Lindsey (Theo), great-grandchildren Nicole, Rhys and many nieces and nephews.
Peggy was born in Orillia to Adam and Rebecca Boyd and raised in Gravenhurst, Ontario. She loved the outdoors, horseback riding, swimming in the lakes, cold snowy winters and skating outdoors.
Peggy graduated from nursing (RN) from Toronto East General Hospital in 1947, then coming out West by train to work at Saint Josephs Hospital in Comox, B.C. It was quite an adventure!
There she met Roy and they married in 1950, raising their family of four children mostly in their North Vancouver home that Roy and his dad had built. Peggy created beautiful gardens on the large forested lot, and would continue her love of gardening most of her life.
She enjoyed skiing, swimming, reading, sewing, and walking on the trails, something she would do well into her 90s. She so enjoyed the beauty of Comox and spending time at the family summer home.
Peggy had a very busy life, caring for family, grandchildren and her mother for many years at home. She was a caregiver extrordinaire! Peggy adored her family, and enjoyed hosting many family gatherings, always taking an interest in what they were doing.
We will dearly miss her warm, caring nature, her strong resilient character, and her quiet Irish humour.
A Celebration of Life service will be held will be held on Friday, October 25th, at 2:30 pm, at Saint Catherines Anglican Church, 1058 Ridgewood Drive, North Vancouver, B.C.
