LANDRY, Margaret (Doris)

Sampsonville, NS

October 14, 1936 - January 25, 2024


It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Margaret “Doris” Landry of Sampsonville, who passed away peacefully on January 25, at her home in the Richmond Villa. Born in Sampsonville on October 14, 1936 to the late Harry and Martena (Burke) Landry.  


She was a natural caregiver, spending many years volunteering before eventually working as a Personal Caregiver at the Richmond Villa and then later taking care of her siblings. Doris married her late husband Raymond “Ray” John Landry on November 11,1957.


A devoted member of the St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church, Doris shared her love of music as part of the choir for several years. The only thing stronger than her faith was the love she had for her family and the Montreal Canadiens. Doris could often be found playing her guitar at community concerts, the Richmond Villa and house parties, playing BINGO or fishing. 


Doris was predeceased by her husband Raymond “Ray” John Landry, her beloved son Erwin, her brother Cletus (late Peggy), and sisters Beth and Lola (late Cornelius). 


Doris will be missed dearly by her children Andrew (Patsy) of Sampsonville, Glenora (John) of St. Peter’s, June (Leonard) of Lower Sackville, and Shaun (Laurie) of St. Peter’s. Nanny had a special place in her heart for her grandchildren Candace (Jonathan), Clarissa (Cody), Chelsey (Niklas), Kerstin (Logan), Donaven (Jessica), Leonard (Meaghan), Martena, and great grandchildren Brooklyn, Oliver, Mélanie, Taylin. She is also survived by brothers Conrad (Dianne), Wally (Bernadette) and Bernie, and her sister Marilyn (Al)

.

The family would like to thank the amazing staff at the Richmond Villa who took exceptional care of Doris throughout her final years. Your love and devotion to all of the residents is extraordinary and does not go unnoticed. A special thanks to Doris’ sister, Marilyn and daughter-in-law Laurie for all of their love and dedication to Doris throughout the years. 


There will be no visitation by request.  Funeral mass will take place on Tuesday, January 30, 2024 at 11:00 am at St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church, St. Peter’s; Rev. John Yake officiating.  Burial to take place at a later date.
