Marta passed away peacefully at the Kingston Health Sciences Centre (KGH) following a brief illness on Saturday, July 18, 2020, at the age of 73. Beloved wife and best friend of Jim McCarey for 50 years. Born in Hungary in 1946. At the age of 10, Marta, her mother Ilona and brother Andy 8, emigrated to Canada. While at University in Ottawa she met her soul mate Jim, from Belleville. Marta loved children, so becoming a teacher seemed especially fitting. Marta taught with the Catholic District School Board for over 30 years. She enjoyed her career, colleagues and the children. Marta and Jim loved to travel, they enjoyed several trips back to Hungary, to visit her relatives and repatriate her mother’s ashes.
Marta is predeceased by her mother Ilona. She is survived by her husband Jim and her brother Andy. Pictured at top: Andy, Ilona, Jim, Marta. Below Mom & Marta
