Obituary of MARGARET DAIGLE (nee GRAY)

After a valiant battle with cancer, the death of Molly (Murray) Daigle occurred at home on Sunday, September 18, 2005, surrounded by her loving family and ever faithful dog, Penny. Born in Saint John on June 23, 1939. She was the daughter of the late Murray and Violet Gray. She attended Aberdeen School and graduated from Vocational School in 1957. Molly was predeceased by her first husband, William F. Murray in 1983. Molly leaves behind her loving husband Leon, whom she married in 1988. Her three sons: William (Michele), John (Heather) and David Murray, two step-daughters: Leanne and Rita Daigle, three very special granddaughters: Carly, Meghan and Tessa, three brothers: William Gray (Carole), Peter Gray (Jeanne) and John Gray, three sisters: Dottie Snodgrass, Rose Kazimer (Ivan) and Mary Lee (Bob). Also survived by two sisters-in-law: Patsy Gray and Joan Gray, a special aunt and uncle, Leota and Robert MacCaughan, step mother-in-law, Maria Daigle and step-sister-in-law, Betty Brown. She was predeceased by two sisters: Shirley Melanson and infant sister, Madeline Gray, four brothers: Murray and Alan and infant brothers, Jimmy and Ronald Gray, one sister-in-law, Nancy Gray, one brother-in-law Edward Melanson. Molly made her career with the Bank of Montreal. Her humour and friendly disposition graced the bank for several years. After retiring at an early age, she devoted her time to her husband, children and granddaughters. Her garden and hummingbirds displayed her love for both of these hobbies. When not in the garden or filling her bird feeders, she could be found with a book in hand, as she was an avid reader. Other favourite hobbies included watching Jeopardy, cross word puzzles, bird watching and fishing. Molly's strength and courage was significantly demonstrated over the past five months, as a family we pray we can carry on with these qualities she so greatly demonstrated. Resting at Brenan's Select Community Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint John, NB (506-634-7424) with visiting on Thursday 2-4 and 7-9 pm. Funeral Service will be held on Friday, September 23, 2005 at 11:00 am in Brenan's Chapel. Reception to follow at Brenan's Bay View Select Community Funeral Home, 1461 Manawagonish Road, Saint John. Remembrances to the Pediatric Oncology Department at the Saint John Regional Hospital would be appreciated by the family.
