Margaret Janet ROMCKE — Charlottetown

Romcke, Margaret Janet Passed away peacefully at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital on October 25, 2024, surrounded by her family. A resident of Charlottetown, Margaret lived a vibrant 94 years, bringing joy, laughter, and warmth to all who knew her. Margaret was the beloved mother of Janet (Bill) Nearing of Halifax, Barbara Romcke (Stephen Levy) of Toronto, ON, and David Romcke of Prince Edward Island. She was a cherished grandmother to her granddaughters, Megan (Wilco), Heather (Nick), Laura (Anthony), Ally, and Jessica (Leo); and a proud "GG" to her two beautiful great-grandchildren, Lucas (Heather and Nick) and Della (Laura and Anthony), whose visits she delighted in over the past year.

She was predeceased by her husband, Robert "Bob" Romcke; her adored brother, Fred; and her parents, Ingham and Earith (Sinclair) Jardine. A devoted member of St. James Presbyterian Church, Margaret filled her days with games of bridge, gardening, quilting, travel, and gatherings with her extended PEI family. She never tired of reminiscing about her family days at French River. Her favourite expressions, "oh, go way with you," "from away," and "you people," will continue to be quoted in her honour, bringing smiles and memories to her family for years to come. The family extends heartfelt thanks to the doctors, nurses, and staff at Andrews of Charlottetown and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital's Unit 8 for their compassionate and exemplary care. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to Hennessey Cutcliffe Charlottetown Funeral Home.
