LOUGHEED, Maranatha Eileen - It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of Maranatha Eileen Lougheed on July 20, 2018.
Maran suffered a catastrophic intracranial hemorrhage just two days after delivering her third son at the Corning Hospital in New York.
She passed peacefully, surrounded by her family, who adored her.
Maran is survived by her loving husband, Cory Kilpatrick and her 3 beautiful boys, Brycen (age 4), Benton (age 2) and newborn baby Braedan.
She also leaves behind a large immediate family, including her parents, Eileen and Brandon Lougheed; siblings Daryl (Natalie), Ronan (April), Charetina (David), Taylor (Vanessa) and Justan; as well as her mother and father-in-law, Rick and Karen Kilpatrick; and her nieces and nephews, Maeve, Bramwell, Harrison, Sullivan and Willa.
Maran was an incredible woman, filled with such life and laughter.
She was born on May 23, 1979 in Toronto, Ontario and immediately began leaving her indelible mark on the lives of everyone she encountered. Always ready with a quick smile or a witty joke she was loved by all those who were fortunate enough to know her. An amazing athlete and especially talented swimmer, her career took her from MAC and MDHS to the USA on a swim scholarship. She then pursued a career in medicine.
Maran expertly cared for thousands of patients, and was well-respected and admired by her many colleagues as an outstanding physician and Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Guthrie Corning Hospital. She dedicated her life to bringing babies into the world, saving the lives of young mothers and providing healthcare to women of all ages. She did this not only through medical intervention, but also by demonstrating exemplary compassion and a willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty. Maran's commitment to her work in women's health was second only to her dedication to her family. She worked tirelessly to create a happy home and a loving, magical childhood for her sons.
Maran had big dreams for her little boys, wishing them to become the best versions of themselves - as she strove to do in her own life. Even on her final day, Maran continued to give. As per her wishes, her organs were donated to those in dire need, allowing her to save many lives despite losing her own. Maran was, simply put, an incredible person.
Her passing has left a void that will never be filled. She touched each of our lives in such a special, caring way. We loved you every day, Maran and now we will miss you the same way. We wish you peace and light until we meet again.
A visitation and tribute to her life will be held Sunday, August 12, 2018 at the Spring Lakes Golf Club, 4962 Stouffville Rd., Whitchurch-Stouffville, ON starting at 2 p.m. with a service at 3 p.m. All are invited to join in the sharing of stories and memories of Maran.
