Margaret was born in St. Boniface and grew up in Transcona. She attended Central School, St. Mary's Academy and the St. Boniface School of Nursing, graduating as a registered nurse in 1960. She worked as a nurse at the St. Boniface Hospital and later at the Park Manor Personal Care Home. Margaret was predeceased by her parents, Thomas and Jean Cole (nee Williamson). She will be lovingly remembered and cherished by her husband of 58 years Frank; her sons, Randy (Susan), Ken (Karen), Gord, and Bruce (Lidia); grandchildren, Beckie, Michael, Dana, Brittanni, Kayla and Claire; and great-grandchildren, Zach, Everett, and Alexandria. When Frank retired in 1987, they moved to Redditt, ON. Margaret had many friends in Redditt and enjoyed participating in many community events, the summer and winter festivals and fundraisers for the curling club, fire hall and road board. She also met wonderful people through her involvement with the Kenora Red Hatters and Crown Jewels. Cremation has taken place and a family service will take place at a later date. Many thanks to the staff at the Lake of the Woods District Hospital ICU and the Alcock Funeral Home.

I was totally shocked upon hearing of Margaret's passing. Having just received the most beautiful letter and card this past Xmas. I have known Margaret since grade 6 right through high school, plus being a neighbor. Remembered the good times making hot chocolate at Maple Leaf C.C. in Transcona when Frank & my late husband Lorne coached each others' kids' hockey. Margaret's mom was the one who taught me how to knit, we had just laughed about that in our last letter. She was small in stature but with a big heart. She was my nurse at ST.B. when I shattered my knee cap, always checking in on me to see if I needed anything, everyone in the ward just loved her. My thoughts and prayers are with you Frank and the whole family she was such an amazing person. Rest in peace Margaret you will be dearly missed.
