It is with great sadness that the family of Margie Bort announce her passing at the age of 71 on Sunday, July 21, 2024, at St. Paul’s Hospital in Saskatoon. Margie is survived by her two children, Stephanie Inglehart and Colton (Erin) Inglehart, her beloved grandsons Carter and Braden Inglehart, her sister Barbara Weinberger, her sister-in-law Melanie Thomas, her brother-in-law Martin (Donna) Bort, her step-daughters Trina Kavanagh and Trista Bort, and her step-grandchildren, Nolan, Joseph, Sylvie and Aoife Kavanagh, as well as her extended family and many honorary children and grandchildren. Margie was born on February 16th, 1953, to Wendell and Katherine (Eckel) Thomas, in Davidson, SK, where she grew up and attended school. She was in a car accident in 1970 which left her quadriplegic but that didn’t slow her down. With a great deal of determination she learned to care for herself and attended Saskatchewan Technical Institute in Moose Jaw, the University of Saskatchewan and many correspondence courses in business management and librarian courses. She married Alfred Inglehart in 1978 and was blessed with her two children. In 1996 she married her second husband Ronald Bort and joined their families together.  Through the years she had many jobs and her last career was with the Saskatchewan Association of Community Living (SACL). Once she was unable to maintain full time work, Margie spent much of her time volunteering. She won an award with the Council of Canadian Disabilities for her work with the Saskatchewan Voice of People with Disabilities and received the Saskatchewan Centennial Medal in 2005 from the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan. Margie also volunteered with North Saskatchewan Independent Living Centre, the Canadian Paraplegic Association, Sea Cadets, Navy League Cadets, 107 Spitfire Squadron Air Cadets and the Saskatoon Seniors for Continued Learning where she took many classes through the university. Margie and Ron jointly volunteered as Airport Ambassadors for 12 years at the Saskatoon Airport and for their beloved Bridge City Rider Fan Club.  Margie loved her grandchildren and was very involved with them. She and Ron loved to travel in their outfitted van, driving to many places to visit family and friends and, of course, to cheer on their Riders in Regina. She loved to read and frequented non-profit book fundraisers to add to her To-Be-Read pile. Margie loved her plants, flowers and beautifying her yard every summer.  Margie was predeceased by her husband Ron, her parents Wendell and Katherine, her step-father Albert and step-mother Beatrice, her children’s father Alfred, her brother Bill, her brother-in-law Sonny, grandson Nathan, great-nephew Christopher, her parents-in-law Henry and Drusilla, and many aunts and uncles.  The family would like to thank St. Paul’s Hospital ICU staff for their care during this last visit and the many visits before. A Celebration of Margie and Ron’s lives was held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, July 26th, 2024, at Windsor Chapel (704 Windsor Street, Saskatoon), interment followed at Woodlawn Cemetery, Saskatoon. In lieu of flowers please send any donations to The Ability Hub YXE (formerly NSILC) or to Saskatchewan Voice of People with Disabilities in Margie’s memory.  Arrangements entrusted to Thea Katchmar-Mourning Glory Funeral Services (306) 978-5200.  To share memories of Margie or send condolences please visit www.mourningglory.ca .
