Margaret Caroline Rosborough (nee Currie) passed away peacefully, with her family by her side, on Sunday September 16, 2012. Pre-deceased by her beloved husband John, her baby son David and her adoring parents Joseph and Essie (Moulton) Currie. Loving Mother to Debbie (Joey) Gorman, Cindy Bell (Dan Angell), Michael (Tina) Rosborough and Jo Anne Rosborough; cherished Nanny to Nicky, Shelley (Chris), Lindz (Nathan), Allan (Apryl), Alicia (Jason), Ryan, Danielle and Leanne; proud great grandmother to Cassidy, Maizie, Violet and Aynslee; beloved sister of Josie (Gerry Baker) and Dan; dear sister-in-law of Eleanor (Bill Blackie), and Anna Stocker; caring Aunt to many nieces and nephews; loved by many special cousins; devoted friend to Vivian, Muriel, Kathleen, Audrey and Mary; and treasured by Monty. She was a gift to this earth--a loving, compassionate and generous soul. She survived many hardships, and supported her family through all of theirs. She nursed us through scratched knees, broken bones and broken hearts. Together, she and Dad helped anyone who came to their door and were paid back many times over with friendships that have lasted a lifetime. Mom was "forever young" at heart. She grooved to Mick, Rod, Elvis, Queen, the Beatles and Johnny Reid and thrilled to hear any Celtic music, fife and drums and bag pipes. She loved dance and figure skating and was thrilled when she met her favourite—Toller. Mom was one of the original "motor cycle mommas” who was delighted to see so many women ride their own bikes today. She was a child of the earth, who got so much pleasure from her flower gardens, fish pond and all the birds and deer who came into her yard. She loved animals and could not bear to see them hurt or neglected. Mom was our moral compass who guided us through life’s challenges with patience, compassion, wisdom and love. Her inner strength never failed to amaze us. She beat cancer but could not win the battle against her latest illness. It is true that "Life is not fair”. How could anyone so perfect have been challenged so much during her lifetime? The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to the caring staff at Kingston General Hospital, in particular Dr. Kunyong Xu, whose compassion for his patients and their families is extraordinary. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair and Son Funeral Home at 112 Beckwith Street N, Smiths Falls on Thursday, September 20, 2012 from 6 to 8 p.m. and again on Friday from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. The family would like to invite those that are able, to a celebration of her life at 208 Pine Ridge Drive, 9th Line of Beckwith, Blacks Corners on Friday at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers please make donations in her name to the Canadian Cancer Society and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. She made this world a better place and will now do the same in heaven where she will be re-united with her loved ones, but not forgotten on earth.
