Peacefully at home on Tuesday, December 17th, 2024, Amanda Bridgette McGillivray of Pembroke passed away in her 42nd year. Beloved daughter of Barry and Maureen McGillivray (née Steele), Amanda was a loving mother to Gabriella McGillivray (Mike Hartwig), Logan Forrest, and Katrina Desjardins, and a proud grandmother to Elizabeth “Lizzie” Ann Lynn Leclerc.
Dear sister to Amy (Tim) Quade and Rebecca (James) Sebele, Amanda was cherished by her niece, Tessa Jill Sebele, and remembered fondly by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Predeceased by her grandparents David and Jill Steele, and Norm and Anne McGillivray, Amanda’s warmth, kindness, and dedication to her family and friends will be deeply missed.
A proud member of the youth choir and active participant at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Pembroke, Amanda’s early love for gardening earned her a Junior Horticultural Award. She was devoted to her family, her beloved pets Bailey, Lucy, and Pip, and her best friend and confidant Nancy Page.
Amanda gave over 15 years of dedicated service at Tim Hortons in Pembroke, where she advanced to store manager at the downtown location, affectionately known as “163.”
