With profound sadness we announce the passing of Margaret Macdonald, who left us on July 11, 2024.

Margaret was partner in life, and sometimes Bridge, to our dad, Alasdair Macdonald; big sister and sparring mate to her brother, David Cain; a loving mother to her four children; and a fiercely proud Gwamma to her four grandchildren. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by extended family and friends.

She is survived by her eldest daughter, Kathryn Macdonald and Kathryn’s two sons, Ryder Doege and Hugh Doege. Margaret’s memory will be cherished by her daughter, Christine Macdonald, Christine’s husband Jeremy Bycraft, and their loyal dog, Greg. She will not be forgotten by her daughter, Rebecca Lins, Rebecca’s husband Cory Lins, and their daughter Sydney Lins. Margaret’s youngest, and only son, Daniel Macdonald, his wife Lynsey Macdonald, and their daughter Casey Macdonald will continue to honor her loving spirit.

Margaret’s life was filled with many passions. Before retirement, she loved teaching Special Education at St. Thomas the Apostle. She found joy in shopping, long walks, hosting delightful dinner parties, and beating our dad at Bridge. Her wit, warmth, and wonderful gluten-free baking will remain in our hearts and minds forever.

A private family service will be held to celebrate Margaret’s life. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Hospice Renfrew in Margaret’s honour.

Arrangements entrusted to the care of the Goulet Funeral Home, Renfrew. Online condolences/donations may be made at www.gouletfuneralhome.com
