Margaret is fondly remembered by her family, friends and neighbours.
Mom and Dad farmed for over 30 years on the 10th of Peel until moving to Elmira.
Family was very important to Mom and she planned many special events for everyone to enjoy together. She was an avid baker and blessed many with this gift. Mom was especially known for her butter tarts. Margaret’s warm smile will be remembered by many and she would never pass up a hug.
Mom had many interests and a special love for flowers. She enjoyed keeping a full social calendar including time at the Elmira Seniors Centre playing cards and many other outings. Music was a big part of her life. She enjoyed puzzling, reading and playing games in her later years.
Mom enjoyed many good healthy years but the past few had their challenges. Her determined spirit helped her overcome many trials. A special thanks to all teams involved with Mom’s care and support during her health journey.
