In Loving Memory of Margaret Dunn
“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.” – Thomas Campbell
With heavy hearts and deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Margaret Dunn, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, friend, and pillar of the community. Margaret departed this world peacefully, surrounded by the love of her family and the gentle memories she so beautifully created during her time with us.
A Life of Grace and Generosity
Born into a world that would be forever changed by her presence, Margaret Dunn lived a life marked by quiet strength, endless compassion, and an unshakable commitment to those she loved. Whether offering a warm embrace, a thoughtful word, or her famous home-cooked meals, Margaret had a way of making everyone feel welcome and cherished. She believed deeply in kindness, hard work, and the value of family — values that will continue to live on through all who knew her.
Margaret was more than a name in an obituary — she was a story in motion, a melody of joy and perseverance. She raised her family with unwavering dedication, often sacrificing her own needs to ensure that others were cared for. Her home was a sanctuary not just for her children and grandchildren, but for countless friends, neighbors, and even strangers who needed a listening ear or a safe place to rest.
A Legacy of Love
Margaret’s legacy is not defined solely by the years she lived, but by the love she shared and the lives she touched. She had a gift for noticing what others needed, even when they didn’t say a word. Whether tending her garden, volunteering in her church or community, or simply sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of tea and heartfelt conversation, Margaret gave of herself without hesitation.
Her strength came not from loud declarations, but from quiet resilience — from facing life’s challenges with dignity, faith, and courage. She taught those around her that life is not about having everything, but about making the most of what you have and lifting others along the way.
Remembering Her Light
As we grieve Margaret’s passing, we also celebrate her life — the countless birthdays, holidays, bedtime stories, and moments of spontaneous laughter that she so generously shared. Her memory will echo in the halls of our hearts, in the Sunday dinners we now cook using her recipes, and in the small, beautiful traditions she passed down with care.
We remember her warm hugs, her wise words, her infectious laughter, and her deep, abiding faith. We remember how her eyes lit up when she saw her grandchildren walk into the room, and how she always made sure no one left her home without feeling a little more loved than when they arrived.
