Margaret grew up in Oshawa before moving to North Bay and then settling in Brampton in 1952. She was a woman of great faith and a very active member of Grace United Church until mobility issues prevented her from attending. As well, the Order of the Eastern Star was another organization that she dearly loved and served as Worthy Matron, as well as in a number of other offices. Most of all Margaret was a dedicated loving wife, mother and grandmother. She gave tirelessly of her time and love to care for her husband Earl who in his later years was chronically ill but was able to live at home until he passed. She was a stay at home mother who supported and loved her children and was supportive in their school work, their sporting activities and their community organizations.
