MARGARET ANNE McKILLOP

Margaret Anne McKillop passed away on June 17, 2025, surrounded by family at her home. Marg was raised in Blenheim, Ontario, where she spent her summers picking fruit and was spoiled by her parents. She grew up and attended law school, where she met and fell in love with Bill Fanjoy, her lifelong partner. Her marriage was an unlikely event, given her mother's many warnings that she would never find a husband if she didn't stop snorting. Marg affectionately referred to Bill as her "Billy Boy"; Bill referred to Marg as "my bride." Bill loved her snorts. Marg insisted she didn't want children, preferring animals (including her beloved poodles, horses, cats, and birds). But Bill lured her into having children with the promise of travel, fun and jewellery. Those promises (all fulfilled) brought Bill and Marg their greatest treasures - their daughters, Alexandria and Eryn. Marg was an incredible mother. She taught her daughters the importance of independence, generosity, hard work, a strong ethical code and never being caught without red lipstick. Marg lived a big, beautiful life. She loved to entertain and travelled all over the world. She had amazing friendships and was a trusted confidante and advisor to many. She sang and danced wherever she went and was always fully adorned with jewellery. She is survived by her Billy Boy; daughters, Alexandria (Aaron) and Eryn (Phil); her beautiful grandchildren, Lyla, Ethan and Maddie; and her siblings, Norma and Doug. Marg's favoured parting line was "Miss me!" Marg, we miss you so much.
