Left to mourn are sisters-in-law, JoAnn McIntosh, Jane Ridley, Joanne Hudson and Joy Duncan, as well as many nieces and nephews. Margaret spent most of her years in Morden, Manitoba and later years in Brandon and Winnipeg. She graduated from Morden High School in 1951. She continued her education at Commercial College in Winnipeg, working in Winnipeg for several years. In 1958, she married Jack and returned to Morden. Her working life included Morden Collegiate, Morden Hospital, Morden Library, and lastly Eden Mental Health Centre, Winkler. Margaret became very active in the Morden community life. She loved sports. She coached baseball, and was very involved with both the Ladies Golf and Curling clubs. (Winning the mixed curling bonspiel in Charleswood, taking home a cute blue Volkswagen Beetle). As a young girl, she played on the famous Morden Whizz Bang Baseball team (that now is honoured in the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame). Margaret was often spotted at the Morden Baseball diamonds enjoying the local fellas play. We all know how she loved the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Toronto Blue Jays. Margaret started the Meals on Wheels program in Morden and was very involved with this project for many years. Due to her keen interest in Morden life, she was the recipient of the Morden Kinsmen Citizenship Award. Margaret will be remembered by her cheery disposition and sweet smile and will be deeply missed by her family and friends. A private memorial will be held in Morden at a later date. A special "thank you" to the staff at the Actionmarguerite (St. Boniface), Friendly Care Services, especially Cecilia Fuentes and to Ken Hanssen, and Howie and Oddney Sager.
