GBHS Mourns the Loss of Angela McNaughton, A Nurse Who Led with Heart
It is with immense sorrow and heavy hearts that the Grey Bruce Health Services (GBHS) community shares the heartbreaking news of the sudden and unexpected passing of Angela McNaughton, a devoted Registered Practical Nurse (RPN), colleague, and friend. Angela’s passing has left an immeasurable void—not only within the walls of GBHS in Southampton but in the hearts of her patients, coworkers, friends, and family.
Angela served as an RPN with unwavering compassion, dignity, and professionalism. Her gentle demeanor, calm presence, and tireless dedication to others made her an indispensable part of the healthcare community. She was a trusted caregiver, a beloved teammate, and a source of strength for those who leaned on her—patients and coworkers alike.
In her years of service, Angela became known for the way she quietly led with empathy and integrity. She treated each patient with the utmost respect, listening intently and caring deeply. Families took comfort in knowing their loved ones were in her capable, compassionate hands. For Angela, nursing was not just a career—it was a calling, and she fulfilled it with grace and heart.
Her colleagues at GBHS remember her not only for her clinical skill and dedication, but for the warmth and kindness she brought into the workplace. Angela had a steady, calming presence in even the most stressful situations, offering comfort with just a few words or a reassuring touch. She was the kind of person who never sought the spotlight, but who shone brightly in the lives of those around her.
Outside of work, Angela was a devoted family member and loyal friend. She valued the quiet moments in life—morning coffee, meaningful conversation, nature walks, and the comfort of home. To those closest to her, she was a confidante, a nurturer, and someone who could always be counted on. Her laugh was soft but infectious, her wisdom was quiet but powerful, and her love was enduring.
Though deeply private by nature, Angela’s impact was anything but small. Her legacy is written in the lives she touched—with every hand she held, every wound she tended, and every heart she comforted. She embodied the best of what it means to serve others with humility and humanity.
Angela’s sudden passing has left her colleagues in mourning and her community in shock. The hospital halls she once walked with purpose now feel quieter, and her absence is felt in every corner of the care she helped to provide.
She is remembered with love and gratitude by her family, friends, and the entire GBHS community. Her memory will live on in the stories shared by colleagues, the gratitude of patients she helped heal, and the legacy of care she leaves behind.
A service to celebrate Angela’s life will be held in the coming days in Southampton. Details will be announced by the family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a healthcare charity or local nursing scholarship fund in Angela’s name—an enduring tribute to her life’s work.
Though she is gone far too soon, Angela McNaughton’s legacy of compassion, service, and quiet strength will never be forgotten.
