Mary Margaret MCILRAITH

McILRAITH, Mary Margaret In Ottawa on Thursday, November 23, 2006, with the outstanding dignity, grace, warmth and courage that guided her life. Mary Margaret McIlraith, 65, daughter of the late Margaret and the late Hon George J. McIlraith. Mary Margaret was the devoted mother to four loving, adoring children: Cathy, Ken (Elizabeth Allen), Julia (Erik V. Witzleben), and Geoff (Phoebe Miles) Sproule. She was the special loving Grandmother and Nanna to six wonderful boys: James, William, Duncan, Graeme, Kyle and Matthias. Predeceased by her sisters Cathy and Janet, she is survived and fondly remembered by her brother George E. A service and celebration of Mary Marg's life will take place on Monday, December 4th (to follow the Liberal Convention weekend, of course!) between 2 and 5 p.m. at St. Anthony's Soccer Club, 523 St. Anthony St. (off of Preston). Speeches will begin at 2:30 p.m. A reception with food and drinks to follow. All are welcome. It is the children's heartfelt wish that donations be made in their mom's name to the SCO Health Service Foundation in tribute to the loving care that she received while at the Elisabeth Bruyere Centre, in particular by their outstanding nursing staff. logo Published in the Ottawa Citizen from 11/24/2006 - 12/2/2006
