Obituary of Margaret Agnes Bulmer

Bulmer (Edgett), Margaret Agnes Died peacefully, at age 88, in the company of her loving family, at The Moncton Hospital on Sunday, 11 November, 2007. Margaret was born, in Moncton, September 26, 1919 and was the last surviving child of Percy and Ethel Edgett. She is survived by her son, Gary Bulmer, Moncton; daughters Sheila Manak (Miles), Dartmouth, N.S. and Dianne Haley (Bryan), Montague, P.E.I.; grandchildren, Michael Manak (Liz), Beverly Carson (Shane) and Lori Haley; great grandchildren, Max Manak, Julie and Stephanie Carson and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Gordon; brothers, Alvin, Edwin, Herbert, Lester and Murray; sisters, Shirley Atkinson and Kathleen Grigg. Margaret was a life long resident of Moncton where she was well known for her skills on the bowling lanes having won several individual and team championships in her younger days. She was a devoted wife and homemaker who cared for her children and, when his health failed, her husband. Her home was a family gathering place where she welcomed visitors to share in the love that dwelled within. She enjoyed visiting family and was often found in Dartmouth and Montague sharing stories and pleasant memories of those who weren’t there. Most notable was Margaret’s contentment with what life had provided. She never complained, appreciated the smallest kindness, rejoiced at the good fortune of others and provided a ray of sunlight in the dismal days of grief as her siblings passed away. In her very special way, she provided comfort to those who were left behind. She was the rock that stood strong as a symbol of the Edgett family. As her health began to fail she grew particularly close to her niece and neighbor, Sharon Edgett, who provided care and comfort when it was needed. Margaret was effusive in her praise of this special niece and friend. A graveside service will be held in Elmwood Cemetery, Moncton on Wednesday November 14, 2007 at 12:00pm with Rev.
