Margaret Puckett (nee Farrer)
March 28, 1911 – December 26, 2013
Margaret passed away peacefully surrounded by her family at the Davidson Health Care Centre. She was predeceased by her husband Neil, and is survived by her sons Jim (Fay) and their daughters Lisa (Bill Thibodeau), Laura (Norman Shoemaker) and children Neil and Megan; Merritt; and Dwight (Lynne) and their sons Bob and Michael (Kimberley) and their daughter Michelle (Gilbert Nelson) and their sons Trevor and Travis.
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.
The family would like to express their appreciation for the wonderful care she received from the staff at the Davidson Health Centre.
There will be a family gathering and celebration of her life at a later date.
For friends so wishing, memorial donations in memory of Margaret may be directed to the Davidson and District Health Care Centre Foundation, the Davidson Senior Citizen’s Centre, the Davidson Swimming Pool Fund or to the charity of your choice.
Hanson’s Funeral Home of Davidson in care of arrangements.
