Margaret Elva Wright passed away peacefully in the presence of family at Bethany Care Centre in Calgary on December 31, 2014 at the age of 88 years.
Margaret is lovingly remembered by her devoted husband of 63 years, Al and their children Lloyd (Betty), Ann (Bill) and Linda (Paul). She was predeceased by her beautiful daughter Laura in 2004 and her parents Charles and Christine Kennedy and her brother Ted Kennedy. She was the proud grandmother of five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, who will all miss her dearly. Margaret will be forever loved by her sisters Mary and Jane, sister-in-law Celia, and many other wonderful relatives and close friends.
Margaret adored her family and friends who contributed to her living a full and happy life. Margaret was born in Craik, SK and attended nursing school in Regina where she graduated as a registered nurse in 1948. She married Al in June 1951 and they lived happily on a farm in Aylesbury, SK where they raised their four children. She continued to nurse for 27 years, becoming the Matron and then C.E.O. of Craik Community Hospital. “You are an amazing person Mom; such an inspiration to all who met you. We are so lucky to have had you in our lives and you will be truly missed.”
Relatives and friends were invited to a Celebration of Margaret’s Life held in the Chapel at Aspen Community, 1171 Bow Valley Lane NE, Calgary on Sunday, January 11, 2015 at 3:30 p.m.
