MATTIE, Marguerite "Peggy" Rosella, Williams Point. It is with saddened hearts that the family announces the passing of Marguerite “Peggy” Rosella Mattie on June 15, 2013 at St. Martha's Regional Hospital. Born in Sonora, Guysborough County, on March 12, 1924, she was a daughter of the late Gordon William Mahar and the late Katherine Florence McGrath. She was a loving and devoted wife to husband Anthony for 65 years. She was a wonderful mother, foster-mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and Nana to all. Always putting others ahead of herself, she was an active member of her community, member of the CWL, a 4-H leader, member of the Foster Parent's Association, Catholic Family Movement and Foreign exchange student sponsor. Peggy will always be remembered for the smile of welcome on her face to whomever she met or who visited her home. She made time for you and made you feel special. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren know they had a special place in her heart. Peggy enjoyed gardening, crafts, writing poetry, quilting and painting landscapes. Her love of the ocean often took her back to Sonora where she enjoyed relaxing and fun at the cottage. Peggy had a wonderful sense of humour, was a good story teller and loved to pull the occasional prank, especially with her sisters. Best mom ever!
