MARGARET MURCHISON

Condolences & Memories (10 entries)

• I was very shocked to hear of Marg's passing. She was a beautiful light in a world of uncertainty. I have good memories of Marg and I playing partners for "Pictionary" at the Cones house near Calgary. We always had plenty of laughs. The world is missing a lovely lady. My sympathies to Dana and the whole family. Hold on to the memories. - Posted by: Rita Johnson (Friend) on: May 21, 2017

• Margie brightened every room she was in, she was fun, full of life, and truly loved people. She had a special gift with children and especially teenagers. When we were kids and traveled to Winnipeg for summer vacations to visit the family, Margie would always drive us around to pools and malls (which she loved) to keep us amused - while telling non-stop stories. We will cherish the many memories that we hold close to our hearts. Her laughter will always be missed. Our deepest condolences to Dana, Jeff, Shannon, Bill and families. - Posted by: Gerry and Janet (Cousin) on: Apr 09, 2017

• Such sad news. Marg. replaced me when I left for a years leave-of-absence from George Waters Middle School. When I returned, she remained and I was blessed with working along side of her. I soon found why everyone loved her. Marg. was always positive and loved to laugh. Everything she did, she did well. She didn't just create a monthly calendar, she created a work of art that the students looked forward to seeing each month. Her contributions to Santa's Workshop was so much appreciated by the students. In her small-group instructions the students knew they were safe and loved and learning happened. While working together we shared many stories of our children and grandchildren. I will miss not having her at the other end of my Facebook page "liking" my postings and teasing me about my updates. Rest well my friend. - Posted by: Joanne (Noble) Swain (co-worker) on: Apr 08, 2017

• RIP my beautiful cousin. I'll miss you so much, our visits, our chats, and the "Margaret" stories that made me laugh until I cried. I will miss your amazing spirit. We shared so many good times over the years, and some tears too. You will always hold a special place in my heart. Love you to the moon and back. To Dana, Jeff, Shannon, and the rest of her family, I'm so sorry for your loss. Marg was a very special person...generous, warm and caring. I know how much you loved her and how much she'll be missed, but the love she had for each of you will live in your hearts forever. - Posted by: Willie Johnson ( Cousin) on: Apr 06, 2017

• To my beautiful cousin Margaret, you took a little piece of my heart with you. I will always remember your years in Calgary like it was yesterday, the family dinners and get togethers, a certain dog and a certain cake (smile). I will miss you with all my heart. To Dana, Jeff and Shannon. My sincerest condolences to all of you. In the coming weeks, remember her healthy and whole and happy. Take care of yourselves and each other. xox - Posted by: Deb Cones () on: Apr 06, 2017

• Years ago when our girls were in the Winnipeg Youth Chorus, I had the privilege of being a choir mom along side Margaret. We shared many laughs at meetings and choir nights but the best times were camp and those long bus trips!!! Margaret always had a smile and a hug for her friends and she left her family far too soon. She will be missed. Love ya! - Posted by: Brenda Anderson ("old" friend) on: Apr 05, 2017

• I am absolutely devastated by the News that we have lost Margaret. She was the embodiment of love, care and compassion. My every moment with Margaret I felt her warmth surround me like a favourite blanket. Such a sweet sweet woman and an absolute delight to work with. I have missed her greatly since she left St. James collegiate. My sincere condolences to her entire family and to Shannon Pontes and her family. May Margaret's wonderful soul rest for eternity. - Posted by: Steven Hill (Work colleague) on: Apr 05, 2017
