In the early evening of
Tuesday, April 2, 2019, Margaret Maxine Taylor heard the call of her
Heavenly Father to come home. In the midst of our grief, we her family
remember her with joy and we are so grateful for a life well lived.
Margaret passed peacefully at Paradise Villa, surrounded by her loving
family. She was 96. Born in Vanceboro, Maine, on March 13, 1923, she
was a daughter of the late William and Blanche (Mundie)
Clendenning.
Margaret loved her Faith
Family and always looked forward to attending services at Hope City
(formerly Sunset Church). She remained active in her church until her
health began to fail. Margaret was a well respected and much-loved
employee at the former Victoria Public and DECH Hospital for many
years. In her leisure time she enjoyed going for long walks taking in
the beauty of nature at it’s best. Margaret would never pass
up an opportunity to go for a drive whether it be with family or
friends. Just getting out was a real treat for her. She found great
peace and contentment just sitting back in her favorite chair and
reading. All these adventures kept her spirit young and alive. While a
resident of Paradise Villa she thoroughly enjoyed the interaction she
had with the residents and staff. The activities whether it be bingo,
birthday parties or occasional visits from former staff members always
brought Margaret great joy. It was home to her where her physical,
mental and spiritual needs were met with dignity and grace and always
added to her quality of life.
Margaret was devoted to her
family and she loved each one dearly. She will be lovingly remembered
by her daughter Donna Johnston (Arnold) of Fredericton and their two
sons, Kevin (Jillian) of Douglas and Kendall (Kris) of New Maryland;
also, by her son Eugene Taylor (Bonnie) of Lincoln, NB and
Eugene’s sons, Derek (Paolia) and Darren (Cloremice) both of
Montreal. Margaret is also survived by a granddaughter, Krista Gilby
(Justin Robichaud) of NS as well as great-grandchildren, Emma, Tyson,
Carlie, Jenna, Samantha, Olivia, Alexander, Lauren, Alysson, Charlee,
Kate and Lauren. She also leaves behind a sister-in-law, Maxine
O’Donnell of Fredericton; nieces and
nephews.
Aside from her parents and
husband George W. Taylor (2007), she was predeceased by a sister,
Chrissie Beers and brothers Owen and Kelsey Clendenning and a
daughter-in-law, Sandra Taylor
(2013).
Visitation will be held at
Hope City, 429 Clements Dr., Fredericton on Wednesday, April 10, 2019
from 12:00 PM to 1:45 PM followed by a service celebrating the life of
Margaret Taylor at 2:00 PM. Rev. Joe Beesley will officiate assisted
by Rev. Greg Pyne. Interment will be held in the Dayton Cemetery later
this Spring.
For those who wish to
remember Margaret by way of a memorial contribution, the family
suggests donating to Hope City Youth Fund or a favorite charity of
your choice.
