Marg was a 1928 graduate of the Winnipeg General Hospital and in 1930 she and Frank were married. She was a very caring person, willing to help anyone in need of a helping hand, and she had a wealth of friends. Marg was bright, cheerful and witty and we all loved her dearly. She was a member of the Anglican Church and a lifetime member of St. Johns Guild of the Children's Hospital. Our memories of Marg will always be treasures of our hearts, and to live in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to die.
