HENDERSON, Magda (nee Szaki)
Passed away peacefully at Coleman Care Centre, Barrie on December 22, 2024 at the age of 95. Predeceased by her husband Donald in 2010. Loving mother of Donald Henderson Jr. (Maureen), David Henderson (Jackie Le Blanc), Lorraine Henderson (the late Ken Collins), and Linda Henderson-Gunn (Justin). Cherished grandmother of Shawn (Jodee), Shayne (Christian), Brooke, and great grand mother of Kaitlyn, Ryan, and Rowan.
Magda met Donald in Austria during WWII. After the war, they moved to Scotland briefly, before settling in Mississauga where they raised their four children. Since 1990, they called Barrie their home and spent many retirement winters in Vero Beach, Florida. Magda was well admired for her knitting and needlepoint skills. She loved babies and pets, and kept her sharp wit and sense of humour until the end.
Private family arrangements have been entrusted to the Steckley-Gooderham Funeral Home, 30 Worsley St., Barrie.
The family would like to take this opportunity to express their sincere gratitude to the staff and volunteers of Grove Park Home and Coleman Care Centre for their outstanding care and compassion.
If desired, donations in Magda’s memory may be made to Operation Smile, or the Arthritis Society and are greatly appreciated by the family.
