She then moved to Inwood, MB returning to Selkirk after the death of her husband. In her later years she travelled to Europe, the Orient and Alaska. Margaret had a big loving heart and touched many with her kindness. She faced life with hard work and a smile. Her house was always open to others. Her generosity knew no bounds. She will be remembered for her stories and great sense of humour. We are sad she is gone but happy she is finally free.
