Gertrude Mary Firth-MacNaughton

MacNaughton, Mary Gertrude “Gertie” (nee Firth) 82 years of Matapedia, Quebec. It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Mom at the CLSC Malauze, surrounded by her children, in Matapedia, Quebec on January 18, 2015. Gertie was born in Matapedia, Quebec on October 1, 1932, to the late Lawrence and the late Winnifred (Firth) Haley.

She married Allison MacNaughton of Deeside, Quebec on December 9, 1961 in Toronto, Ontario. Allie predeased her in 1979.

Mom would say her greatest achievements in life were here children and grandchildren whom she totally adored with all her heart! Her family were precious to her. Mom loved good food, socializing and providing a warm meal to others. She had a wonderful sense of humour, loved to tease and always ready to make someone smile. Smiles and hugs were important to her. She was always ready to travel when going to visit family. She gained much strength from her everlasting love for the Lord. She passed that strength to her children with undying belief and conviction.

She was a loving mother to Wendy (husband Dan Hrechka) of Kingston, Ontario, Wade (wife Chantal Couturier) of Matapedia, Quebec and Susan (husband Tim Myles) of Tide Head, New Brunswick. Cherished grandmother to Justin, Emilie, Shannon and Liam.

Dear sister of Grace Leblanc of Nouvelle, Quebec, Maureen Blaquiere (husband Clifford) of Matapedia, Quebec and Glenda Gascon (husband Richard) of Pointe-aux-Trembles, Quebec. She was predeceased by siblings, Theresa, Mathilda, Lawrence, Howard, Maxine, Rita, Lawson, Colbourne, Denzil, Richard and Barbara. She will be sadly missed by many nieces and nephews.

GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN MOM!
