GRANT, Margaret (Von Zuben) - Margaret (Von Zuben) Grant, 81, died peacefully in her home on August 16, 2020.
Margaret was born on December 23, 1938, to the late John and Ruth (Hazel) Von Zuben in Toronto.
She is survived by her sister, Helen (Von Zuben) Cichon and her husband, John J. Cichon of Staten Island, New York; nephews John B. Cichon and Rev. Michael W. Cichon; a great-nephew, John N. Cichon and his wife, Sarah; a great-niece, Ann K. Cichon and a great-great nephew, James Nicholas.
Margaret was predeceased by her husband, Bernard (Bernie) Grant and her brother, John D. Von Zuben.
Marg graduated from Saint Joseph’s High School and worked for IBM. She married Bernie, the man who made her life complete, at Saint Ann’s Church, Toronto on November 12, 1960, and so began a journey of life and love that was interrupted only with his death in 2002.
Together they devoted themselves to sharing their love in Toronto and Clearwater, Florida to the point where to speak of one of them was to speak of the other at the same time.
Marg and Bernie revealed the strength of their character in their battle with alcoholism. Inseparable, they used their personal experiences to bring light to the darkened lives of countless people. Marg, in a particular way, was known and respected for her dedication to the truth, simplicity, willingness to serve others, and perseverance.
While the effects of age and illness limited Marg’s activities over the last years, her concern for those around her will be greatly missed and long-remembered.
A viewing is scheduled for 8:30am - 10:30am on Saturday, September 5th in the Paul O’Connor Funeral Home, Scarborough. A Mass of Christian burial at the Church of the Precious Blood will be celebrated at 11:00, with interment to follow at Highland Memory Gardens.
