James, Julia Margaret ‘Marg’
Julia ‘Margaret’ James (nee Richmond) of Ravenna passed away peacefully, Friday, September 8, 2023, at Grey Gables Nursing Home in Markdale.
Dearly loved wife of the late Jesse James and loving mother of the late Laura James.
Survived by her loving son Mark and his wife Karen, grandchildren Ruth and Rolan, sister Jean Gillespie, brother Bill Richmond and sister-in-law Muriel Smith (Eric). Predeceased by parents Clarence and Margaret Richmond (Acres) and stepmother Hazel Richmond.
Margaret lived her life in service to others: to her family, to her friends, to her community, and to her students. She was a loved and respected teacher who intimately understood that a loving, caring and understanding adult, has the power to shape a child’s life and change the world. She ran her classroom with quiet confidence, with the expectation that all students would give their best, and with the understanding that each child had special gifts, and not necessarily academic ones. She gave selflessly to her church, teaching in the Sunday School, serving as deacon, and was organist for more than a generation. She showed how to live one’s faith through loving actions, and strong, steadfast determination. She was a valued colleague and a loyal friend. She was a town girl who became a farm woman, and as such, successfully learned to cook, and bake, and can, and pickle. She became famous for her butter tarts, and gravy, and always had a pot of coffee brewing and cookies ready for anyone who came through her door. Above all, she was a devoted and loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She taught her children and grandchildren that giving is better than taking, that quiet confidence is better than pride, and that love, kindness, hope, and faith support us through life’s challenges, heartbreaks, and triumphs. She was a truly remarkable woman and her influence, support, hope, and love have made the world a better place.
