MARGARET (MADGE) JANE BURWASH
February 8, 1920 - April 16, 2020
Madge was born and raised in Winnipeg and was predeceased by her husband and best friend, Ray Burwash; her sisters, Mabel and Maude; and her brothers, Bill, Albert, Alex and Earl.
"Auntie Madge" leaves many family members across Canada including Winnipegers: Bill (Ruth) Todd; Brett (Joan) Todd; Bart (Dana) Todd; Tony (Nikki) Todd; Ron Willett; Katie Willett and Karen Burwash. She will also be missed by her great-great-nieces, Dana; Brynn and Spencer Todd and great-great nephew Kaelum Todd.
Madge lived a long and fulfilling life. She served Canada in the Navy and worked for many years at Great West Metal. She finished her career teaming up with her sisters, Maude and Mabel looking after customers at the Maude Chapman dress shop.
Whether Madge and Ray were cruising with Bill and Ruth; attending Christmas parties with the Hagen Drive neighbours; working out (and/or socializing) at the Reh-Fit Centre; or simply just being with family - Madge always had a smile on her face. The family is grateful that we celebrated Madge's 100th birthday in February. She was always a joy to be around and remained that way until the very end.
A private service has been held. A Celebration of Life will take place at an appropriate time when it is safe for friends and family to be together.
Thank you to the staff at Tower 5 at Deer Lodge Centre for your dedication and compassion over the last four years.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

Although we did not know Margaret for very long, she was a wonderful roommate and friend to our mother Thelma, during the few months that Mom was at Deer Lodge. Margaret's compassion, understanding and care will always be remembered. Each time we visited we were greeted with her radiant smile. Margaret kept her eye on things and made sure Mom was looked after. Please accept our condolences. Margaret will always be remembered for her kindness and vitality.

My memories of Madge go back so many years. Madge and Uncle Burr (as he was known to my family) were great friends of my parents Mona and Gordie Dixon.. The 4 of them spent a lot of time together and I remember many talks and visits with Madge and Uncle Burr. My deepest condolences to the family, Heaven has another Angel Donna ( Dixon ) Hay - Posted by: Donna Hay (Friend) on: Apr 25, 2020
