MARGARET IRENE POWELL November 23, 1935 - May 1, 2015 In Loving Memory Margaret passed away after a two year struggle with declining health. Left to mourn are her niece Tracy Clack; and nephews, Chris (Angie) Janes, Mark (Suzanne) and John (Louise) Jones. She was also a loving Nana to Michael and Megan Harding and will be sadly missed. Margaret was born in Patchway, England and lived there until her early 20's. Wishing to be closer to her younger sister and wanting to seek new opportunities, she immigrated to Montreal, Quebec. It was while working for Canadair in Montreal that she met her future husband James (Jim) William Powell. Margaret and Jim later moved to Manitoba in the early 1970s and made Winnipeg their home. She was predeceased by her husband, James William Powell; her sister, Virginia Marie Clack; and her brother, John Raymond Jones. As per Margaret's wishes, she was cremated and a private function was held in her honour. The family wishes to thank her many wonderful friends for their unwavering support and care during her lengthy illness.

Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • Dear family of Marg I´ve met Marg several times when I have visited my family in Winnipeg. She was always so full of life. She drove the car to the little place where the Icelanders settled down for years ago - it was full of bugs!!! We came that only one day when those bugs do what they have to do and then die!! We took a bear at some place and I had to take a little swim in the Winipeg lake. My girlfriends thought I was crazy - and we had such fun. I have such "sister like" memories of Marg - and you know souls fly. Marg has a special place in my heart forever. Take care and hugs even if I don´t have met you, From the other side of the world Elisabeth - Posted by: Elisabeth Boudrie (Marg is a friend of Arlene and she is also become a friend of mine - so glad to have met her) on: Jun 09, 2015

  • Marg was a lovely person. We met many, many years ago when we lived across the hall from her and Jim. We stood up for them at their wedding. They had such an incredibly loving relationship and were so very close. We shared many dinners, glasses of wine and many laughs. They were wonderful to be around. Marg was an incredible seamstress and helped me out of many sewing dilemmas. She always spoke so lovingly about her sister Gin and she adored her niece Tracy. We've lost touch over the years but I have so many wonderful memories of her. My deepest condolences to Tracy and her family. - Posted by: Donna Kolbuck-Street (Friend ) on: Jun 06, 2015
