Mary Margaret ‘Marie’ Bolger
1932-2017
BOLGER, Mary Margaret « Marie »- Point
Tupper/Port Hastings. It is with great sadness we announce the passing
of our wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt in The Richmond
Villa, St. Peter’s on Thursday, May 18, 2017, at the age of
84. Born in Point Tupper on October 30, 1932, she was a daughter of
the late John Hugh and Cora Agnes (Langley) MacDonald.
Upon graduation from Mt. St. Bernard College in Antigonish,
she went to work in Halifax in the Lt Governor’s Office.
Following that she went to work as a civilian employee for the United
States Air Force in Goose Bay, Labrador. It was there that she met her
husband of 61 years, Patrick. They returned home to Point Tupper to
raise their children and in 1979 the family moved to Port Hastings.
During those years, she returned to work for Provincial and Federal
Governments until her retirement in 1989. She was a voracious reader,
avid bridge player, gardener and researcher of genealogy and local
history. She was a founding member of what is now the Point Tupper
Heritage Association. She also became an active member of the Port
Hastings Historical Society. Through all these years she remained
strongly rooted and very much attached to her Point Tupper community.
The lives she touched are too many to list.
She will be dearly missed by her husband, Paddy, whom she
adored; her children, John (Dawna), Port Hawkesbury; George, Port
Hastings; Tim, Ottawa; Maureen (Danny) DeMone, Sugar Camp; Cullen,
Newtown; Michael, Port Hastings; and very special niece, Patty
Garrity, Chicago. She is also survived by her loving brother, Jack.
She will be greatly missed by her grandchildren, Conor, Flannery,
Amanda, Patrick, Sam, Michael, Liam and Jane. She also leaves to mourn
nieces and nephews and the extended family on her husband’s
side. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her beloved sisters,
Catherine (Doss) McDermott, Colleen Holmes and Abigail in infancy. A
huge thank you with much love goes out to the amazing and kind staff
of The Richmond Villa, St. Peter’s. Cremation has taken
place.
Visitation will be from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. on
Wednesday, June 14, 2017 in Dennis Haverstock Funeral Home, Port
Hawkesbury. Funeral mass will be 10 a.m. Thursday, June 15, 2017 from
St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church, Port Hawkesbury with Father Conrad
Edwards officiating. Burial will follow in the parish
cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Point
Tupper Heritage Association or to The Port Hastings Historical
Society. Words of comfort may be forwarded to the family at www.haverstocks.com
