Margaret Allison

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Margaret Allison  on December 23, 2023 at the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance at the age of 84.  She was the loving wife of Mac Allison and dear mother of Debbie (Bob) Brodie and Carolyn Faflak-Duck (Mike Duck).  Loving granny & great-granny of Scott Faflak, Brittany Faflak and her children Ally and Kipten Faflak, grandmother & great-grandmother of Jeff (Heather) Brodie and their son Joshua Brodie (Nicole), Sherry (Mike) Hendrickson and their children Ashley Hendrickson (Jordan) and Erik Hendrickson (Michelle).  She was also the great-great-grandma of Mia and Carter Hendrickson.

Margaret was the daughter of the late John & Elva (Johnson) Durfy and is survived by her brother Donald (Jeanie) Durfy and her sister June Durfy.  She was predeceased by Ronald (Dauntless) Durfy, Kenneth (Edith) Durfy, Joyce (Glen) Stirling, Donna (George) Countryman, and Jean Bennett (survived by Glen).  Sister-in-law of the late Donna Horak (survived by John).

Margaret will forever remembered for her knitting skills (a great part of the community probably has one of her knitted dishcloths in their own homes), for her years of hair dressing, and the quality family time that she made for family.  Apart from everything, “the kitchen” was  her domain where she loved to cook, bake and make others happy through the hours she spent there.

Cremation has taken place and a visitation will be held at the Blenheim Community Funeral Home on Thursday December 28, from 10:00am until 11:00am at which time a service will take place with Rev. Bill Terris officiating. Interment at Evergreen Cemetery to follow the service.  Donations made in Margaret’s memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
