Obituary of Margaret Flynn

Peacefully, at Dr Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital with her loving family by her side on June 30, 2019 at the age of 86 years. Predeceased by her parents, Alfred and Beth (McMillan) Pringle; sister, Charlotte Horncastle; brothers, Gordon Pringle and Arthur Pringle; as well as dear daughter-in-law, Margaret A. Flynn. Survived by her children, Michael (Sandy), Roger (Lori Thomas) and Elizabeth Mason (Lindsay) as well as grandchildren, Justin Mason (Jodi), Garrett Mason (Kaitlyn), Jennifer Briggs (Greg), Kimberley, Patrick, Andrea MacInnis (Andrew), Derek and David; great-grandchildren, Cody, Noah, Jackson, Tyson, Ava, Elijah and Ethan; sisters-in-law, Judy Pringle, Alberta Pringle; brother-in-law, Dale Horncastle; several nieces and nephews; and her beloved, Kirby. Born on May 27, 1933, Margaret grew up in Williamsburg, graduating from Stanley Consolidated High School. She went on to study radiology in Fredericton and worked as an X-Ray Technician at the Victoria Public Hospital. She left that career early, to raise her family, but often recounted her many happy memories from those earlier days with her friends and colleagues. After a few years living in Fredericton, the family returned to the Stanley area where she became heavily involved with church and music. Margaret had a tremendous love for gospel music and she shared her talent by playing at weekly services for many churches, as well as various other musical events in the Stanley area. She had special memories of the many years spent practicing and performing with dear friends in their group "Country Joy" and also several years spent performing with the Stanley Players Theatre group. Margaret was a woman of great faith, and over several decades was deeply devoted to a weekly Bible Study with very dear friends. Special thanks to those who visited and offered prayers during her illness. Visitation will take place at York Funeral Home, 302 Brookside Drive, Fredericton, NB on Thursday, July 4, 2019 from 2-4 and 7-9 pm. A Celebration of Margaret’s Life will be held at York Funeral Home’s T. Gordon McLeod Memorial Chapel on Friday, July 5, 2019 at 11 am with Rev. Lyn Hughes officiating. Interment will be in Williamsburg Community Cemetery. For those who wish, remembrances can be made to the Muscular Dystrophy Association or to a charity of the donor’s choice.
