  • Obituary of Margaret Grace Luffman (nee Thorne)

    March 26, 1940, New Harbour, NL February 2, 2020, Eastern Health Long Term Home Care, Carbonear, NL.

    Grace Luffman peacefully passed away at the Carbonear Long Term Home on Sunday, Feb 2, 2020 at 1:00 am at the age of 79 years young. Surrounded by her loving family and friends, the wonderful staff at 3 North, we were blessed to have her with such a caring staff that made her feel like family.

    Grace was born and raised in New Harbour, NL, met and married Herbert Luffman November 2, 1957 and resided there until 2010 when she moved to the Carbonear Long Term Care Facility.

    Grace is predeceased by her loving husband, Herbert; children Christine and Wayne; and grandsons, Michael and Dillon; as well her parents, Herb and Ruth Thorne, siblings, Ida, Mary, Webb and Jim.

    Grace is survived by her children Bruce, Keith (Barb), Sharon, Rodney, Brian (Helen), Kelly and Joan (Fred). As well as her nine beautiful grandchildren, Stephanie, Matthew L, Matthew P, Candace, Jennifer, Gabe, Katelynd, Chenelle, Miranda, also seven precious great grand children, Hayden, Mya, Michael, Parker, Rylie, Winston and Scarlett.

    Grace is also survived by her six loving siblings, Blanch, Melve, Arbury, Roger, Dave and George.

    Grace was deeply devoted to her family and would always do without to keep her family happy. She was also devoted to her extended family and friend, including her very special friend, Fanny. Our mom was a beautiful, kind hearted, gentle soul that we all loved and respected dearly. She was an angel sent from heaven for 79 years for us to love and cherish. We were very blessed for God to share her beautiful soul.

    Mrs Luffman was a wonderful soul. She would always say good morning to me. She loved when I performed on the floor for them and included me and the other workers in whatever activity they were at. She was a delight to talk to every day. She will be missed. Deepest condolences to her family
