Obituary of Margaret Bergin

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Margaret Gibson Woodside Bergin, beloved mother of her three children with Michael: Linda (Al), Joanne (Stephen), and Cathy; grandmother of Erin and Georgia; sister to her cherished big brothers Bill (Sally) and Bob (Peggy). Margaret will be deeply missed by her treasured friends and family in Ireland and Canada. She always had time for a smile, a wee chat, and a kind word for everyone she met.

 

Margaret loved music. Her radio was always on; you would often catch her singing along, tapping her feet, and even doing a little jive. Margaret cherished the places over her life that she called home. Her door was always open for a cup of tea and a cookie... or two. Margaret loved nature and enjoyed hours proudly working in her garden and helping neighbors with theirs. We invite you to plant a flower in your garden in Margaret's memory.

 

A profound and heartfelt Thank You to those who provided care and guidance to Margaret and her children over the years.

 

Mom, 

May the road rise to meet you,

May the wind always be at your back,

May the sun shine warm your face,

May the rains fall softly upon your fields … (Irish Blessing)

May love and laughter light your days, and warm your heart and home.

May good and faithful friends be yours wherever you may roam. (Irish Blessing)

You will be missed and NEVER forgotten.

 

Donations in Margaret's name can be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada or OCAPDD (Ottawa-Carleton Association for Persons with Developmental Disabilities).

 

A celebration of life will be held. Please connect with Linda or Joanne for more information.
