MARGARET ‘TINY’ ENNIS (NEE SAMUELS)
Margaret Elizabeth Ennis, fondly known as ‘Tiny’, was born to Norah and Abraham Samuels in Runaway Bay, Jamaica on November 4, 1940. She grew up in a loving home, surrounded by her four siblings; taking care of her grandmother and learning the values of compassion and family. Her upbringing shaped her into the remarkable woman she became.
In 1969, Margaret made the life-changing decision to migrate to Toronto, Canada. She embraced the opportunities that awaited her in her new home and embarked on a career at the Hyatt Hotel. She later joined the Four Seasons Hotel, where she dedicated an impressive 35 years of service as a supervisor of housekeeping. Margaret's commitment and dedication to her work left an indelible mark on her colleagues and the hospitality industry.
On May 19, 1970, Margaret entered into a beautiful union with the love of her life, Cedric Ennis. Together, they shared many cherished moments and built a strong foundation for their family. Cedric sadly passed away on May 19, 2020, leaving behind a void in Margaret's heart that could never be filled. Their love story serves as an inspiration to all who knew them.
Margaret had many passions in life. She had a flair for cooking and was renowned for her mouth-watering dishes, especially her favorite, rice and peas with fried chicken. She found joy in exploring new places and made it her mission to care for her family in every possible way. Margaret's love for music led her to sing hymns, providing solace and joy to those around her. Her warm and endearing nature was evident in her affectionate greetings, often responding with words like "hello darling" or "hello Sweetheart."
After a brief illness Margaret succumbed to her illness on June 22, 2023. Margaret leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness. She is survived by her brother, Gladstone Samuels, and her two sons, Cecil and Anthony. Her memory will forever be cherished by her three grandchildren: Elaine, Angela, and Santana. Additionally, she leaves behind three great-grandchildren: Bashar, Stella, and Levi, who will continue to carry her spirit in their hearts.
As we gather to bid farewell to Margaret, let us remember her as a woman who exemplified love, dedication, and compassion. May her soul find eternal peace, and may her memory be a blessing to all who had the privilege of knowing her.
May her soul rest in peace and light perpetual shine upon her.
