TORRANCE, Margaret Isabelle (nee Kayes) - (March 16, 1947 - April 29, 2019)
On April 29, 2019 at Margaret Bahen Hospice, Newmarket, Ontario, Margaret (nee Kayes) passed peacefully in the company of John, her grateful husband of 49 years.
Margaret was the loving and proud mother of Scott (Shannon) of Edmonton AB, Chris (Sonya) of Keswick and Andrew of Keswick.
Grandma is remembered with love and great affection by her granddaughters Taya and Lea. She is survived by her brother Allen (Margaret Anne) and niece Jennifer and nephews Benjamin and Mackenzie; and was predeceased by her parents Alfred and Marion (nee Hornshaw) Kayes.
Margaret was held in high regard by everyone she influenced in her career as a public school teacher, daycare provider and adult literacy instructor. She was a wonderful support to John in the various pastoral charges in which they served together in Ontario. As well as having a beautiful voice, Margaret was a welcomed member of several English handbell choirs in the past 20 years.
Her smile exuded warmth, her eyes were a window on a soul of compassion, she had the most comforting hugs, and her last full sentence summed up her life: “I love you too.”
Relatives and friends are invited to call at the Marshall funeral home, 10366 Yonge St., Richmond Hill on Friday, May 3rd from 2:00 - 4:00 pm and 7:00 – 9:00 pm.
A funeral service will be held at Yorkminster Park Baptist Church, 1585 Yonge St., Toronto on Saturday, May 4th at 2:00 pm, with visitation to commence at 1:00 p.m.
