Margaret McGrath

90 – Sydney

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear mother on March 1, 2013 at home, 11 days after her 90th birthday, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

Born February 19, 1923, Margaret was the daughter of the late Patrick and Sarah (Gallant) Burke.

She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend.

Mom worked for a short time at the Cape Breton Vocational School but spent most of her life loving and caring for her children. Despite the hardships in her life with the loss of 3 children, she overcame this and remained a great Mom to her remaining children.

Margaret is survived by her daughter Colleen MacIntyre with whom she resided; daughter Anne Gallant, Ontario; son Cyril, special grandson Stephen, who helped take such great care of his Grannie and brother John Burke, 2 granddaughters April and Rachelle and 2 great granddaughters Olivia and Jessica.

Margaret was predeceased by her husband Cyril, daughter Sharon, sons Wayne and Raymond, grandsons Dwayne and Darren, son-in-law Tony and sisters Bridget, Catherine and Alice and brothers Leonard and William.

Visitation for the late Mrs. McGrath will take place 1 hour prior to the funeral service on Monday, March 4 from 9:30 am to 10:30 am when service begins. Interment in Resurrection Cemetery, Sydney Forks.
