Margaret Jane Bulger

June 3, 1932 - January 16, 2022

Marg passed away peacefully in her 90th year. Beloved wife of the late Hank (Francis) Bulger. Loving mother of Darlene (Wayne) Sherman, Cinda (Bruce) Hodgson and Paul (Marguerite) Bulger. Cherished grandmother of Stacey (Mike) McTaggart, Tammy (Adam) Sgroi, Krista (Jay) Tullock, Cara Hodgson, Jeff (Amy) Hodgson and Troy Bulger. Adored great-grandmother of Alexandra and Victoria McTaggart, Charlie and Sebastian Sgroi, Chelsea and Emma Tullock and Zachary Hodgson. Dear to many nieces, nephews and friends. Marg will be fondly remembered for her deep love of others, of animals, and of nature. She enjoyed nothing more than a room full of family, friends and pets at her home in Richmond Hill and at the cottage on Rice Lake. Marg was a beautiful swimmer, diver and canoeist, and was so proud that she passed these talents down to her grand- and great-grandchildren. She was always eager for a game of cards, alleys or bingo but equally content with quiet conversations watching the glorious sunsets over the lake. Marg’s favourite good-bye ended with “Don’t forget how much I love you!”
We will miss you and always love you “Forever And A Day.” A visitation will take place from 10 am to 12 pm on Friday January 21, 2022 at MacCoubrey Funeral Home 30 King St. E., Cobourg. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at 1:15 pm on Friday January 21, 2022 at St. Michael’s Church 379 Division St, Cobourg. Anyone wishing to attend the visitation at the funeral home or the mass at St. Michael’s must R.S.V.P. for both at www.MacCoubrey.com. If you are unable to attend the funeral mass, there will be a live stream of the service at www.saintmichaelschurchcobourg.com. Special thanks to the Palliative Care Team from Southlake Hospital. Those wishing, may make a memorial donation to the SPCA or to the Alzheimer’s Society.

Thinking of you in your time of Sorrow. Marg was an amazing woman. Always embracing me with a hug and encouragement as I grew up. I will always remember her as a major person in my life. Hugs to all of you. We were blessed having Marg in our lives.

Gai Brown - January 21, 2022

Dearest Darlene,Cinda, Paul and families: Your dear Mom was so very special to our family and when we think of Margie, it is always with a smile and love in our hearts. I always loved to hear the stories of your Mom and the McCurdy girls at Rice Lake. I remember the first time I met your Mom when I was about 18 and was visiting Doug and his family in Harwood...your Mom was there with Thelma and Jean and when we were introduced, she hugged me and said.." I think you will be a wonderful addition to the Brown family" and here I am some 55 years later! I never forgot that! I would love to visit your family in the summer at the cottage and was always so warmly welcomed with such love and kindness. And yes when we left, there were always those words " don't forget how much I love you " and I always knew how much your Mom loved us all. She had a smile that lit up the room and made everyone feel so very special. God blessed my life when I met dear Margie and she will always hold a very special place in my heart. I know that she has been gently welcomed into the light of God's face and that she is looking down with love and pride on all of you. "Those we hold closest to our hearts never truly leave us. They live on in the kindness they have shared and the love they brought into our lives" Keeping you all close to our hearts with love and prayers, Doug, Gai, Denver (Janice) Logan (Cara) Dylan & Hayley Brown Waterloo & Ottawa Ontario "Don't forget how much we love you, dear Margie" ❤

Our heartfelt sympathies on the passing of a very lovely lady, mother and grandmother. Marg, with her warm personality and infectious smile, always made us feel welcome at family gatherings. She will be missed.

Tracy Sgroi - January 20, 2022

From the very first time Fred and I met Marg we created a bond and were instantly in love with her. Her bright smile and immense kindness always made us feel loved. We were so happy to have her in our life. Fred and Marg could always be found having a quiet conversation with big smiles and giggles. She was a bright light in our family, always making sure we were all doing well. Our many card games were always a fun time. Since Fred passed away Marg and I have had regular phone calls and visits that have given me happy memories and lots of laughs. Sharing Marg's Birthdate was a privilege and an honour. Holding hands with her while just sitting was so comforting. I am going to miss her so much. Marg will be in my heart forever. RIP Marg and keep Hank and Fred on their toes. Love you to the moon and back. XOXO Tracy
