Obituary for Vera Marjory McTaggart (Morland)
McTAGGART, Vera Marjory (née Morland)
January 17, 1921 – March 11, 2023
Vera completed her life journey in her 102nd year. She was the daughter of the late Charlie and Dora Morland (née Vincent) and wife of 67 years to the late Wallace McTaggart.
Left to reminisce memories are her 5 children: Don & Honey (late Faye), Garry & Noreen, Paul (late Barb), Darlene & John (late Robert Harrison), and Sherry (late John Bulloch.) She will be lovingly remembered by her many grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. She will be missed by her younger sister Shirley Howard (late Floyd) as well as her many nieces and nephews. Vera was predeceased by her sisters Mabel Thompson (Walter) and Evelyn Bird (Garrence), in-laws – Amey & Cliff Doyle, Helen & Gerald Bailey, Don and Ruth McTaggart.
Whenever you eat raspberries, curd, or Chinese food – think of Vera! She loved The County but never forgot her West Huntington roots! Her unconditional love for her family, friends, and community is an inspiration to replicate. Her strength and ability to maintain a positive attitude during unprecedented times of living in a long term care facility for 15 years was remarkable. We learned from Vera that a little love and respect goes a long way in making a soul feel valued and significant. Thank you to the staff of Picton Manor and Kentwood Park Nursing Homes, Quinte Access – Drivers Rick and Betty, and to all her hairdressers who made her feel beautiful.
Vera was always ready to play a game of cards, even when her eye sight was failing. Whenever you see a bright colour and a matching pant suit, think of her. We will miss our “family historian” and were so lucky that her memory lasted almost as long as she did. Her secret to longevity … laughter, family, friends, wholesome food, camping, dancing, and don’t forget the music. Play The Wilkinsons' song "26 Cents".
A Graveside Service and Interment will take place at Thomasburg Cemetery in the Spring. If desired, donations to the Thomasburg Cemetery Board or a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family. Online condolences and to share memories of Vera, please visit: www.rushnellfuneralhomes.com
