It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Margaret Nippard of Wareham. Our beloved Wife, Mom, Nan and Sister passed peacefully at James Paton Memorial Hospital, Gander, at age 72 on Monday, August 11, 2025.

Margaret was born on May 16, 1953, on Silver Fox Island, and her heart never left. She lived a life filled with love, kindness, and dedication to her family. Margaret will be forever remembered by her generous heart, warm smile and the way she made everyone feel welcome in her home, with an open door and homemade bread. She was a devoted wife, mother to her daughters, and cherished Nan to all her grandchildren.

She carried on the legacy of strong family roots by retiring in her childhood hometown of Wareham, NL and reclaiming her parents' home. Her love of cards, bingo and a good Newfie jig will be remembered by many.
