Margaret was born in Strasbourg and attended school at Farrerdale School. Margaret and Neil were married in 1942 and farmed near Davidson, Sask. She liked gardening, cooking, woodworking and excelled at sewing and needle crafts, making many handmade stuffed toys and dolls, afghans, quilts and clothing for her grandchildren. A lover of animals, there were numerous pet cats and dogs and she often spoke of her favourite horse “Jip” that she rode as a teenager. She enjoyed visiting with family and friends over a cup of tea and a good game of cribbage or hearts and was a daunting opponent at the scrabble board. Margaret’s greatest joy was her family and she was very proud of the accomplishments of her sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
