It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that the family of the late Margaret Street announces her peaceful passing on Tuesday, July 9th, 2024, at Dr. Charles LeGrow Health Centre at the age of 74, with her loving family by her side. Born in Margaree she was the daughter of the late Gabriel and Effie (nee Northcott) Billard. Margaret leaves to mourn with precious memories her loving husband of 55 years, Joe, daughters, Sherry (Perry) St.Croix, Sharon Street, her grandchildren who were her pride and joy, Jolene (Rick), Shane (Sarah), Melanie (Mark), Sarah, and great-grandchildren, Andrew and Addison. She will be sadly missed by sisters Mary Carter, Millie (Herbert) Park, Julie (Hartley) Spencer, Brenda (Wilfred) Luedee, Pauline (Jim) Baggs, her brother Johnny Billard, sisters- and brothers-in-law, Gloria Billard, Ruth Street, and Clifford Coleman, plus a large circle of nieces and nephews and many friends.

Margaret fought long and hard over the years but never lost her smile. We will always remember her resiliency throughout her battle and how her love always shined through. She was full of life and loved having fun and joking with everyone. She would never turn down a good game of cards or bingo. She will forever be missed for her quick wit and her laugh, and her memory will live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who were fortunate to know her and love her.
