30.09.1942 – 04.10.2021
Much loved daughter of Ted and Mary McCarthy.
Loving sister of Eileen, Joanne (dec), John and Carmel.
Devoted wife of Barrie for 56 years and dedicated Mum to Mark, Anthony, Christopher and Rebecca and their partners Tracey, Tracy and Robert.
Caring and affectionate Nanna of Jayme, Darcy, Alexandra, Kit, Patrick and Julia.
Passed peacefully after declining health, which she faced with fortitude
and good humour.
I’ll miss you terribly Mum but I take comfort that you’re now running around the
great tennis court in the sky. To your favourite son-in-law, Roberto, you were a
respected verbal jousting partner! Paddy treasures the memories of you attending
his footy matches, even braving the rowdy clubrooms on a walking stick after his
team’s Premiership win. Jules fondly recalls the two of you playing board games
and doing puzzles together…simple things but precious time together.
We love you very much. Bec, Rob, Patrick and Julia (Sicilia)

I have just viewed the webcast of Margaret’s funeral commemoration which was an outstanding familial celebration of the life of your beloved wife Margaret Rose.
Margaret was a remarkable loving wife, mother and grandmother and a dear friend to Marj and I, as well as countless others in our community and places beyond.
Her memory will live for evermore and May she now Rest In Peace.
