Margaret Helen Elizabeth Young (nee Forbes) 1935-2020 passed peacefully away November 19, reuniting with her beloved husband William, son Joseph, and sister Lois. Survived by her daughter Julie, son James, in-laws Bonnie, Grace, and Wayne, and her four cherished grandchildren Connor, Madison,
Ava, and Benjamin.
She was a wife, a mother, a sister, a grandmother, a friend, and an entirely beautiful person. Margaret, Marg, Mom, Nana; no matter what you called her she was a sweet, devoted, generous, loving person, who deeply cared for the people in her life. She never ceased expressing herself through music and dance, constantly tapping her toes; more often than not, it was to music that lived within her. Even after numerous hardships she continued to have a positive outlook and impact on those around her. Gardening, euchre, and curling kept her mind and body young but not as much as keeping up with her four grandchildren. Of all the things Margaret accomplished, it was being “Nana” that brought her the most profound joy.
Her life full of love, generosity, and unending gratitude will continue to live on in our memories. Like the butterflies she was so very fond of, she completed her life with grace and beauty.
A private burial ceremony for the family will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations to Diabetes Canada appreciated by the family.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Margaret Helen
Young 2020..
