Whitney Pier
It is with great sadness that we, the family announce the peaceful passing of Stanley ‘Stan’ Margettie, at home on Saturday, December 23, 2024, after a lengthy illness, surrounded by family and friends.
Born in Sydney on April 26, 1929, Stan was the son of the late Parmay and Mary Margettie.
Stan is survived by his wife, Marie; sister, Gloria, Mississauga, ON; brother Eddie, Hamilton, ON; daughters, Phyllis, Sandra, Debbie (Mike), Peggy and Carol (Joe); sons, Robert, Louie (Linda) and Darren; sisters-in-law, Ann and Muriel and many nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Besides his parents, Stan was predeceased by his sister, Phyllis, brother, Louie and son, Travis. He is also predeceased by his brothers-in-law, Albert, Frankie, David and Lefty.
Stan served for his country with the Royal Canadian Dragoons Armored Division at various bases. Upon his return to civilian life Stan worked with the City of Sydney water commission for 30 plus years where he retired as a supervisor. In his younger days he was an avid boxer and well-skilled in the art of pugilism, often winning many matches. Stan was an avid sport fan rooting for his favorite Toronto teams, the Blue Jays, Maple Leafs and Raptors. Stan also enjoyed watching grandson, Darien as he plays for the Saint John Seadogs of the QMJHL
Stan was a selfless person who always put his family and friends first, often looking forward to his annual family barbecue and lobster dinner on Father’s Day as he enjoyed the company of his family and friends. Stan was also a lifelong learner who was a self-taught in the use of the computer and would often be in his office surfing the “net” emailing family and friends far and wide and doing his shopping on Amazon.

My Sincere condolences to Marie and the entire family. He was a wonderful man with a kind and gentle spirit. May your many memories always keep your hearts warm and smiling. My thoughts and prayers are with you🙏🏽
Let me start by extending our deepest condolences to Marie and the entire family. I remember when my mother reconnected with Stan in Nova Scotia. She expressed how happy she was, and what a beautiful man he was. I had the pleasure of meeting Stan in 2017, it was like nothing I have experienced with anyone. We connected like we knew each other all our lives. We both cried when I returned back to Toronto, I didn’t want to leave him. The loss of Stan is huge for anyone that knew him. My uncle would tell me how he and Stan would send each other jokes, this meant a lot to him that they had that connection! You are so loved Stan!
Stan was so proud of his family, and from what I experienced, loves HARD! A gentle giant! I love you Stan, I wish we had more time together. You are missed, but I know you are here. Prayers are sent from me, my son Timas, husband Allen, brother Edsel, your sister Gloria, and your brother Eddie. RIP Stan!! Thanks for sending me my dime🙏🏾😢❤️
Our deepest condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May he rest in peace.
My deepest condolences to Marie, and the Margetti children and their extended family! Praying that you find peace and comfort during this difficult time!
To Darren and family,
Very sorry to hear this news. Sending our sincere condolences.
