Bernard Maguire

In memory of Bernard Maguire

The family of Bernard Francis Maguire, aged 90, announces with deep sadness his passing and invites his loved ones, friends, and members of the community to join them in honoring his life.

Bernard was the devoted husband of the late Diane Legault Maguire, with whom he shared a life of love, companionship, and unwavering devotion. He was the proud father of Barry, who preceded him in death, and Patrick, as well as the beloved father in law of Vineeta and Madelaine. His legacy lives on through his beloved grandchildren—Shivana, Shalina, Kevin, Sophie, and Dylan—who brought him immeasurable joy. The son of Edwin and Doris Maguire, Bernard was one of nine children in a family built on faith, resilience, and deep affection.

Bernard will be remembered not only for his gentle spirit and warm smile, but also for his dry sense of humor and straightforward honesty—qualities that made him unforgettable to all who knew him. Throughout his life, he retained a mischievous streak and was known for his playful pranks, always carried out with warmth and good humor—a hallmark of his unique charm. His lifelong passion for history, sports, and current events kept him alert, curious, and always ready for a lively conversation.

A gathering to honour Bernard’s life will take place on September 3rd, 2026, at 1 p.m. at the Lac-des-Fées Pavilion Funeral Home, located at 95 Boulevard de la Cité-des-Jeunes (Hull). This will be followed by a Catholic funeral service and burial at St. Stephen’s Catholic Cemetery (Cimetière St Stephen) in Chelsea, Outaouais Region, Quebec at 4pm.

The family extends its heartfelt gratitude to all who have offered support and prayers during this time of loss.

May Bernard rest peacefully, reunited with his beloved Diane and his son Barry, and may his memory remain a blessing to all who loved him.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society in honour of Bernard Maguire.
