May 27, 1946 - Nov. 11, 2012
With sadness we announce the passing of Margaret at
Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver.
Beloved bride of Wilf, sister of John (Beverly) and cherished mother of Joanne and Duncan (Jennifer), Margaret may best be remembered as devoted ‘Glamma’ or ‘Nammy’ to her grandsons: Patrick (Liz) and James; and granddaughters: Anna, Maggie and Ruby. She was also delighted to marry into Wilf’s loving family and gain even more beautiful grandchildren.
She was tremendously proud of her children and grateful for their love and support. She shared a long and tender courtship with Wilf and they enjoyed golfing, sailing and travelling together.
Margaret had a knack for friendship and dearly loved her ‘posse’, her friends from Sears, Eatons, Beechwood and the many people she charmed throughout her life. She lit up any room she entered with her spirit and joy and people were drawn to her beautiful smile. Her enthusiasm was infectious and her children and grandchildren will remember many adventures, especially the ones where they ‘made lemonade from lemons.’ They will also remember her bright red fingernails, her insistence that they answer ‘yes’ (not ‘yeah’), her tea parties, her fervent desire that they ‘get a haircut’ and her fun, can-do attitude.
