Obituary for Marguerite Ethel Burditt (nee Webster)
Burditt, Marguerite Ethel (nee Webster)
Born September 14, 1926 in Winona, Marguerite was Promoted to Glory from Macassa Lodge on
Thursday November 24, 2022 at the age of 96. Her family was by her side until the end.
She was married to William (Bill) for 63 years until he was Promoted to Glory in 2009. Predeceased also
by her only son Brian in 2018, her son-in-law Larry in 2020 and her brother Ron Webster many years
ago.
Family was the most important thing in her life and she leaves behind many who loved her dearly.
Survived by her daughters Barbara (Don) Marshall, Sharon McGuire, and daughter-in-law Susan Burditt;
her grandchildren Paul (Shelley), Scott, Allison (Dan), Matthew (Kristin), Andrew (Shona), Rebecca, Erin
(Diana), Jonathan, Alanna (Marc), Heather (Spencer), Joe (Lauren) and Josh (Cori); her great-
grandchildren Josh, Emilee, Sara, Brooklynn, Makenna, Ayrika (Jake), Olivia, Jenna, Joel, Evan, Victoria
(David), Marcus (Lauren), Katherine, Tristan, Brianna, Euan, Wilson, Abigail, Liam, Charlotte, Ellis, Claire,
Nathaniel, Ainslie, Molly, Akela and Lucas; and her great-great-granddaughter Levi. Her sister Ruth
Joslin, many nieces, nephews, and members of her extended family will also miss her.
Marguerite was a life-long member of The Salvation Army. In her younger years she sang in the
Songsters. As a Bandmaster’s wife she regularly entertained visiting guests, her gift of hospitality shining
bright. Marguerite also taught Sunday School, was the Missionary Sergeant, and was active in the Home
League.
As an exemplary secretary she worked at Cooper Construction, Mountain Cablevision, Big Brothers of
Canada, First Place and First-Pilgrim United Church.
Her dedication to her family, church and work was an inspiration to everyone whose life she touched.
In her later years, despite failing health, she remained keenly interested in the lives of her family.
The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the staff on A2 at Macassa Lodge for their
wonderful care of Marguerite during the almost seven years she lived there.
“And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels.” Malachi 3:17
