The family is saddened to announce the loss of Madge Elsada Wright, who passed away peacefully on April 9th, 2021 in her 82nd year. Madge will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Madge was born in Kingston, Jamaica, where she was a teacher before coming to Canada in 1965. Madge lived and worked in Toronto, Kingston, and Newmarket before she passed. Madge long served in government as a member of the Ontario public service where she made many lifelong friends.

I have the very best childhood memories of going to visit Auntie Madge via the “junction bus” in what is now Toronto’s annex community. When she moved to Kingston, and then to Newmarket, I was just as excited to go for a visit. Even as an adult with my own children, being around Auntie Madge always brought back wonderful childhood feelings of being special, and loved.
May you Rest In Peace,
Love Karen

Please accept our most sincere and heartfelt sympathies. We pray that God gives all of you strength to face this loss. We know how empty you all will feel with her loss, especially you Peter. Madge worked with my mother Cecy who passed away last May. We had the pleasure of meeting with Madge and speaking with her numerous times. She came across as a gentle and gracious lady, warm, loving and caring. May you find comfort and solace in the thought that she is at peace now. May beautiful memories keep you and your family strong during this most difficult time and may our Lord grant her soul eternal rest.

Pamela, Suresh and Neville Britto
