It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Emily Juliet Magri (née Haydar), which occurred on December 10, 2025, at the age of 75. Emily was a devoted wife to her late husband, Andrew (2025), loving mother to Leslie Magri and husband Kevin Wise, Sharon Di Pietro and husband Frank, and Christopher Magri and wife Natasha Timla. She was an adoring grandma to Sebastian, Lucas and Ava.
Born in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, Emily came to Canada in 1968 looking for a new opportunity. She met her husband, Andrew in 1970. After four years of dating, they married in 1974 and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on June 22, 2024.
Emily had many passions including spending quality time at her cottage, playing bingo, taking aqua fitness classes, cooking traditional dishes and desserts as well as spending time with her three grandchildren.
Emily was a gentle, giving women who was a devoted Anglican Christian. Her faith guided her through many health challenges and gave her strength after losing her husband to cancer. She was always ready and willing to help her neighbours. Her absence will leave a void in ours and many hearts.
