TAYLOR-MUNRO, Margaret May

-

There is a new star in the heavens tonight! On the evening of December 5, 2019, our mother slipped away peacefully, surrounded by friends and family. Born in Delaware, Ohio, she was a daughter of the late Charles and Millie Fisher, predecease­d by her husband, Heath; son, George; and younger sister, Lois (George) Martin. Survived by her daughter, Lauren (Bernard) Fougere; siblings, Florence (Ron) Jacobs, Helen (Garth) Bevan, Danny (Lynn) Fisher; and granddaugh­ter, Nyah. A bright light while on earth, our amazing mother was a sincere, loving, genuine soul; a deeply caring mother, grandmothe­r and a warm and devoted wife. Although she is no longer with us, we hold the fond memories of mom’s intellect, fun, positive attitude and dry wit. Musically talented, mom was a beautiful pianist. She would often reminisce of the many sing-alongs around the piano with her family in St. Catharines. Our home was always filled with music, be it show tunes, hymns or the classics. Debussy’s "Clair de Lune" was one of mom’s favourites. Mom enjoyed her career with the Toronto Dominion Bank for many years and attended Dalhousie University to continue her education in Finance and Communicat­ions. Always generous with her time to help others, mom was very active in the community after retirement, a force to be reckoned with, in her endless volunteer work at the Canadian Cancer Society (Dartmouth Chapter). Mom was also a longtime member of the Royal Canadian Naval Associatio­n, organizing entertainm­ent and the annual Children’s Christmas Party. We would like to thank Lynn Key, owner of Heart to Heart In Home Care for the into-the-early-hours support and compassion. We would like to thank mom’s caregivers for their continuous comfort and love ... providing a graceful departure. We would also like to thank Dr. Dobek for her medical expertise, giving mom comfort in her time of need. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society. Celebratio­n of Life will be held in Dartmouth in Woodlawn United Church on Monday, December 16th at 11 a.m. Reception to follow in the church hall. Condolence­s can be made online at the Dartmouth Funeral Home website:
