Obituary of Margaret Elsie McIntyre

With an appreciation of a life well lived, the family of Margaret Elsie McIntyre, wife of the late Douglas McIntyre, are saddened to announce her passing on Thursday, January 16, 2025, peacefully at her home in Saint John.

In her younger years, she enjoyed skating and watching her daughter grow. She enjoyed spending time in her garden and had a keen eye for jewelry, where she became wonderful friends with the ladies at Charm Jewelers. Margaret's fierce independence and determination allowed her to be in her home till the end. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Margaret is survived by her daughter Judi White (Stephen) of Darlings Island, granddaughter Melissa Scichilone (Giuseppe) of Riverview, brother John Kelly of Sarnia, ON, as well as several nieces, nephews, and extended family.
