Mom will be dearly missed by her four sons, George, Bob, Frank (Petra) and Gerry (Cyndi), grandchildren Joanne (Bryan Hogeveen), Brian (Alissa), Rick (Lisa), Blake (Courtney), Evan (Jena), Amy, Melissa, Ryan and granddaughter-in-law Tanya Minaker. She will also be dearly missed by her 12 great-grandchildren Ayden, Taryk, Maylah, Lauren, Ethan, Noah, Lorelei, Talia, Brayden, Grayson, Jakob and Isabel, brother John McFee (Dorothy), many relatives and so many friends. Margaret was predeceased by her loving husband Gerald, daughter Valerie, grandson Rod, daughter-in-law Diane, parents Earl and Lillian McFee and her brother Earl (Jean) McFee.
Mom was born September 2, 1923 in Winnipeg, married Dad in 1944 and resided on the Rosser farm for the next 76 years. Mom was an active member of her community and her church. She loved to curl and to bowl, to laugh and sing and to entertain family and friends. Mom was an excellent cook and known for her pies and buns. She was very proud of her family and celebrated their many milestones and accomplishments. Mom will be dearly remembered and missed by all those who were fortunate to know her.
The family is appreciative of the many acts of kindness extended during the past few months. Your cards, texts, visits and prayers will always be remembered. A special thanks to Dr. Beaudry and the palliative care staff at the Grace Hospital for their caring support.
A family service is planned at Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens with a Celebration of Life to follow at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Rosser United Church, Rosser, Manitoba.

It is with sadden hearts the learning of your Mom’s passing but knowing she can take her place above to be with Gerald and Val is comforting During our last visit this winter it was amazing that she was still her same old self with an amazing memory and sense of humour. Not many people are able to be 96 and continue to live as she did. What a great life. Condolences from Dale and Paulette and family - Posted by: Dale and Paulette Slagerman (Friend) on: Aug 18, 2020

Aunt Margaret was my touchstone and I enjoyed every visit and every conversation we shared. She was one of the most genuine and beautiful souls I was lucky enough to know and love. I will always love her and will miss her every day. - Posted by: Daphne McFee and Paul Woods (Niece) on: Aug 16, 2020

My Mom Helen Stefura passed in 2015 but I remember her talking about Marg and pointing out the farm when we would head to the Hutterite colony to pick up vegetables in the summer. I believe they met at Clifton Ladies bowling - seems to me there were a few from Rosser. Wonder if they have a bowling league in heaven for them! Thinking of you. - Posted by: Faye Wankling (My Mom's Friend) on: Aug 16, 2020
