Obituary for Margaret Burley (Mewburn)
BURLEY, Margaret (nee Mewburn) – Died peacefully at the QEII Hospital, Halifax, Nova Scotia on April 13, 2023, at the age of 92. Beloved wife of the late Donald Wesley Burley (2014).
She took great pride and interest in her three sons; Jeff (Claudette) of Fall River, Nova Scotia, Greg (Janet) of Brentwood Bay, BC and Paul (Paula) of Tottenham, ON. Margaret was a much loved grandmother to Adam, Lower Sackville, NS, Nicolette, Summerside, PEI, Ryan and Emily of Tottenham. She will be missed by her sister Joan of Greenville, SC and brother-in-law Roger (Marilynn) of Niagara Falls, ON, many nieces and nephews and dear friends.
Following Don’s business career, he and Margaret enjoyed many travel adventures in their retirement. Margaret valued her time visiting with family always. Margaret relocated to Halifax, Nova Scotia in 2016 and was grateful for the many new friends she met at Parkland at the Gardens where she continued a full schedule which included playing bridge twice a week right up to the end of her life. The family wishes to extend their appreciation to the staff at Parkland for the many years she enjoyed living at Parkland.
Margaret’s family are planning a remembrance gathering on May 26th where they will receive friends from 12:00 noon to 2:00p.m. at the MORSE & SON EVENT CENTRE, 5929 Main Street, Niagara Falls, ON., followed by a graveside service with interment of cremated remains at Fairview Cemetery. Memories, photos and condolences may be shared at www.morseandsonfuneral.com
In lieu of flowers, and mindful of Margaret and Don’s appreciation of the work of the Salvation Army, the family suggests that any memorial donations be directed to their ongoing efforts.
