July 24, 1934 – December 8, 2023
In Loving Memory of Margaret Burchill,
Margaret Burchill, born on July 24, 1934, peacefully left this world on December 8, 2023, at the age of 89. She was a cherished wife, devoted mother, doting grandmother, dear sister, and friend to many.
Mom touched the lives of those around her with her warmth, kindness, and unwavering love. She embraced the values of family unity and shared countless moments of joy and laughter with her siblings, children, and grandchildren.
Remembering her with love are her children, Richard (Cynthia), John (Lisa), Charles (Kathy) and Eileen, as well as grandchildren, Mark, Shauna, James, Morgan, Ryan, Susan, Terick and Ayshia. Also mourning her passing is her sister Catherine Daghestani (Ali), along with cousins, nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends.
Mom was born in Winnipeg and raised in North Battleford, SK. After attending teachers’ college, she met our father in Meadow Lake, SK. Before settling in Winnipeg, they moved to Victoria, BC, and Leeds, England. Mom had been a member of Epiphany Lutheran Church almost since its inception. She was the church organist for several years and a member of several church committees.
She was predeceased by her husband of 55 years, Eugene, in 2012, her twin brother Richard, and her granddaughter Richelle in 2018.
In this time of sorrow, let us celebrate Margaret’s remarkable life and find solace in the cherished memories we shared with her. May she rest in eternal peace, and may her family and friends find comfort in the enduring love she bestowed upon them.
A small funeral service will be held at 10:30 on December 16th at Epiphany Lutheran Church. The family appreciates your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. In place of flowers, please donate to Siloam Mission or the Mennonite Central Committee.
