It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Marsha Larraine Galbraith on August 13, 2024, at Hospice Simcoe, surrounded by love.
Marsha was the beloved wife of David Meadows and a devoted mother to her son Cameron. She was a loving stepmother to Tyler (Jess) and Caitlin (Rob) and a doting Grandma Marsha to Carmen, Cayden, Beaux, and Millie. She was a cherished sister to Linda (Phil), a dear aunt to Leanne, and a proud great-aunt to Elisabeth and Lauren. Marsha also had a special place in her heart for her fur baby, Copper. She will be deeply missed by many extended family and friends.
A woman of immense talent and compassion, Marsha was deeply musical, with a beautiful singing voice and a skillful hand on the guitar. Her laughter was infectious, bringing joy to all who knew her. Marsha dedicated over 40 years of her life as a registered nurse in pediatrics and day surgery, where her caring nature and love for helping others left an indelible mark on countless lives.
Marsha will be remembered for her warmth, her music, and the deep love she had for her family and friends. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Posted on: Friday, August 16, 2024I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Marsha. As a nurse, she was not only a dedicated professional but also a compassionate soul who touched the lives of many patients and colleagues alike. Her kindness, strength, and unwavering commitment to caring for others were truly inspiring.
The news of her battle with lung cancer and her subsequent passing is heartbreaking. Please know that my thoughts are with you and everyone who knew and loved her during this incredibly difficult time. May you find comfort in the cherished memories you have of her, and may her legacy of care and compassion continue to live on in all of us who had the privilege to work alongside her.
With deepest sympathy,
Winnie

Posted on: Thursday, August 22, 2024David and Cameron. Please accept our condolences for your loss of Marsha. May the memories of the good times overshadow the feelings of grief you have. I only met Aunt Marsha once; and she was very welcoming and receptive when my wife and met our family for the first time. She was truly an exceptional person and it shows from the remarks from her peers. Take care.
All the best.
Jeff and Roz Moses.
