It is with profound sadness that we share the peaceful passing of Margaret Bart (nee Rose) on March 21, 2024, in the loving care of her devoted husband, Jack Bart. Margaret, affectionately known as Marg, graced this world for 88 years, leaving behind a legacy of love, courage, and profound impact.
Margaret was born to Kenneth Rose and Sadie Andrews and was the cherished first daughter of her family. Growing up in Mount Albert, Ontario, she shared her formative years with her beloved siblings: Vern, Don (Shirley), Stuart, Morley (Anne), Marlene (Harry), Beth (Don), and Harvey (Elaine).
Margaret leaves behind her adoring husband of 62 years, Jack, and their three daughters: Cynthia, Pamela (Frank), and Jacqueline. She was a cherished grandmother to Jonathan (Erin), Laura (Diego), Sarah (Hussien), Tesa (Alex), Kateri (Karsten), and Abigail. Her heart was filled with joy upon welcoming her great-granddaughter, Marie Therese, on October 11, 2023.
Margaret's journey began at Tyndale University, where she met the love of her life, Jack. Their shared passion for Christian ministry led them to Argentina, where they dedicated themselves to serving others for eighteen transformative years in Patagonia. Returning to Canada in 1980, they continued their ministry, touching countless lives through their work in various church roles and Christian counseling.
Margaret was a beautiful woman of many talents and interests. She was a pianist and painter, finding solace and inspiration in music and nature. She cherished moments spent reading, watching hockey, and attending live theatre. Her adventurous and curious spirit, coupled with her unwavering courage and compassion, left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her. She opened her heart and home to countless individuals in need, offering solace to orphans, widows, abandoned and pregnant women, and providing warm meals to strangers who crossed her path in Patagonia.
Margaret will be deeply missed but her memory will remain in the hearts of those she touched.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate staff at Roseglen Retirement Home, St. Elizabeth Community Care, and Ed’s House for their exceptional care.

Jack & Family, I cherish the moments I spent with Marg and I am so thankful for the gracious neighbours you were. Her footprints definitely impacted this community.

Memories of us huddled together over candlelights keeping warm during the xmas power outage, the hope, the prayers and love shared. I smile when I think of Marg’s gentle grace, warmth, kindness, love and encouragement and the lovely piano music and singing that flowed from your home. Her thoughtfulness will live on. Much love to you all as we miss her in the physical and cherish her spirit forever. Jan Taylor-Nelson
Jack Sorry for your loss. Marg was always a cheerful encourager. We always enjoyed stopping to talk to you & Marg. She seemed to always have a listening ear, a discerning gentle quiet spirit and wise counsel. And we knew the source of her discernment came from our God whom she spoke of often, and is with Him now and for all eternity.
Dear Jack, Cynthia, Pamela, Jacqueline and families, please accept my sympathy for your loss. Indeed, Marg was a kind and generous Christian lady whom I am glad to have known. She will live on in our memories and in the lives of all whom she has touched.
