Marg always asked about our mission work in Nigeria and was a faithful prayer partner. She will be missed by many but we are happy that she is rejoicing with her Lord. I loved reading the stories of lives she touched. We send our condolences to her whole family.
Margaret was a jovial, faith-filled and supportive presence at the Extendicare HymnSings during much of covid19. She was kind to those around her and she exuded love and joy in her dealings. May her Homegoing be sweet and may GOD's comfort sustain all who mourn. "He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds." Rest in peace.⚘️
I will greatly miss her so much. I was so heartbroken when I heard. She was greatly loved by so many including me. She had a heart for people and always gave of her time to build you up when you needed it the most. I had many heartfelt conversations with her. She sure had the gift of gab. She was very hospitable and I felt very comfortable and welcome whenever I visited with her in her home. Loved her garden. Enjoyed the tea parties she invited me to. You will always have a special place in my heart Margaret. This is not goodbye my friend. This is till we meet again. Love you, Marie.

I was once a troubled youth, and I felt like nobody was in my corner, and rightfully so. I had broken the law, been arrested many of times, homeless, angry, and blamed the world for how I turned out… rotten. Margaret didn’t hesitate for a moment. She seen the degenerate I was, and decided she would look past it. When I was at my lowest, she picked me up in her car, for nothing more than for company to shop at Zellers in Cobourg, Ontario. I hadn’t had any cigarette’s and was getting easily irritated. She bought me nicotine gum, and I calmed down. We silently continued through Zellers, and she decided she wanted me to have lunch with her at the restaurant inside. I was so hungry, I almost choked up accepting the offer. While we were eating, she told me “You know, it’s never too late to turn things around. Stop trying to be something you’re not, and try being yourself.” I shrugged off the statement at the time. I thanked her for the meal, and realized she didn’t need my company to shop, she knew I needed a friend. It impacted me. It changed me. That’s who Margaret was. The one who had your back, no matter what you’ve done wrong, she gave you a fair shake. The world is a bit darker now that you are gone. You will be missed!
Sending our deepest condolences to the family . Marg was a special woman and will always have a spot in our hearts ! She is now at home and at peace 💕
