It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of our
beloved Mother, Margaret Griffin, on November 9, 2021, at the age of
78. She passed peacefully away at the Health Sciences Centre, in St.
John’s, Newfoundland.
She was preceded in death by her mother and step-father
Carmel and Author O’Reilly, her twin sister Carmel and
brothers Anthony and Michael (Margie) as well
as her mother and father-in-law Bridget and Edward
Griffin, the father of her children Donald Griffin and sister-in-law
Terri (Pete Faith).
She will be dearly missed by her children, Yvonne (Darryl
Mogridge), Kenneth (Cindy), Rodney (Sheila), brothers, David
(Jeannette), Gerard (Barb), Kevin (Diane), Leo (Miranda),
brother-in-laws, Matthew (Margaret), Jim (Rita), sister-in-laws,

Thank you from her children to Dr. Stephanie Pomeroy and the

well as a special thank you to her brother-in-law and good friend John
and Doreen Boudreau and an amazing family friend, Beverly Miller, who
was there for her in her final hours.
Anyone who knew Marg, knows she always said it like it was
and never cared what others thought of her (as quoted by a beloved
niece). She was strong willed and went out on her own terms! We will
miss your feisty spirit mom.

Canadian Cancer Society in
Margaret’s memory.
