Margaret Eddy
1950-2024
Passed peacefully away, surrounded by her loving family, at the
Wilkinson Memorial Health Centre, Old Perlican on Saturday, February
17, 2024 Margaret Eddy of Sibley's Cove, aged 73 years.
Predeceased by her parents, Harrison and Bertha Mercer; parents-in-law, Jim and Martha Eddy;
brother-in-law, Jim Eddy; and sisters-in-law, Carol and Margaret Eddy.
Leaving to mourn her devoted and loving husband of 53 years, Bob; her cherished children, Robert (Tracie) and Terri Lynn (Laura);
her prized grandchildren, Morgan (Erica) and Todd (Danielle); her second son, Bobby;
brothers: Roy (Dianne), Calvin (Linda), Herbert (June), Phillip, and Lorne (Dawn); brothers and sisters in law;
many nieces, nephews, extended family and circle of friends; life long friends, Millie Sparkes and Alice Doyle;
and her little dog, Marley.
Margaret's heart beat solely for her family. The love and devotion she showed her husband, children and grandchildren was immeasurable. She beamed with pride at their accomplishments, was their biggest cheerleader, yet a voice of reason. Her love was never over shadowed by her ability to keep them in check and set them straight because there were no backdoors with Margaret. She was an amazing friend, advocate for those in need, and never turned a soul away. Her light was seen and felt by all the lives that she touched.
The family would like to thank the staff of Wilkinson Memorial Health Centre, Old Perlican, especially Dr. Nel for his continuous care over the years, as well as Dr. Kehoe for his care in her last days. Appreciation is also extended to the amazing nurses who went above and beyond to care for Margaret and her family during this difficult time. Your compassion, care and professionalism will never go unnoticed. Lastly, special thanks to her wonderful homecare worker, Kim Carnell. The love and care you showed her was endless and she loved you dearly.

A Little Parable for Mothers...
And the mother said, 'I have reached the end of my journey, and now I know that the end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk alone, and their children after them.'
And the children said, 'You will always walk with us Mother, even when you have gone through the gates.'
And they stood and watched her as she went alone and the gates closed after her.
And they said, 'We cannot see her but she is with us still. A mother like ours is more than a memory. She is a living presence.'
