Carter of Carleton Place, Ontario passed away peacefully at the Ottawa General Hospital on Saturday, November 8th 2003, surrounded by her loving family. Born in Saint John, NB on August 9th 1942, she was the daughter of the late William and Ruth (McCavour) Maguire. She was retired from Transport Canada and was recently awarded the Paul Tissandier Diploma of the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, for her 14 years of dedication and devotion in the promotion of the John C. Webster Memorial Trophy Competition. The Canadian Snowbirds Aerobatic Demonstration Team were touched by her courage and made her "Honorary Snow Bird # 1". She was a strong advocate of the Breast Cancer Society and a valued member of the "Living for Today" Cancer Support Group. She is known for cheering and supporting others despite her own illness and especially befriending those just beginning their treatments. Her bubbly personality will be missed by many, many friends including many from Hawaii who wish her "Much Aloha". She attended Beckwith Baptist Church.
