MACDONALD, Maureen - With broken hearts our family announces that Maureen, our treasured Mum and Nannie/Nana, succumbed to COVID-19 on Saturday March 13, 2021.
Maureen had so often defiantly beaten all odds and had coped so admirably with many serious health issues and limitations throughout most of her 95 years, but this foe proved too mighty to battle.
She has truly earned eternal peace and goes to join Angus, her beloved husband of 66 years, parents Gladys and Frank, brother Frank (Betty), her infant brother John, granddaughter Michele, and sons-in-law Bill and Jim.
Left to mourn her are her children Sheelagh, Frank, Jenny, Angus, thelma (John), Ross, and Amanda and their extended families, and Gloria.
The memory of her warm transformative smile will remain fondly with all who knew her; it had a hint of cheekiness, instantly letting you know, "I'm alive and so grateful for your visit!" She carried herself with dignity and in later years was grateful to those who assisted her in meeting her standards.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a private memorial service will be held at Marshall Funeral Home on Wednesday March 17, 2021. Burial will follow immediately at Newmarket.
The list of ideas for donations is a lengthy one reflecting the many causes Maureen supported. Kindly, in lieu of flowers, consider: WNED PBS, TVO, The Arthritis Society, The Heart and Stroke Foundation, The Salvation Army, The Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 375 of which she was proudly a life-long member)or Branch 426, The Cancer Society, and Southlake Residential Care Village or Hospital.
A note of profound thanks to the team at "SLV", especially to her long-time, much-loved and dedicated nurse, Ahmad, who, with a fine team, tenderly helped mum and all of us through this most difficult time.
