• Margaret's brother Albert (Abe) and I have been good friends for over 75 years. I spent a lot of years growing up at the Bakers' home on Brandon Avenue. They were a warm and friendly family and their mother was like a mother to me and other kids in the neighborhood. Margaret was always good natured and intelligent, a lot like her mom. Margaret, her sister and brothers attended Riverview School as I did, and as the years went by Margaret was a University of Manitoba student and I was a rookie Fort Garry Policeman. As I would be directing traffic to the university, I would often see Margaret smiling and waving to me from the window of a transit bus as she was en route to university. The sight of her was even warming to the soul on the coldest of Winnipeg mornings. During a Christmas season many years ago, Margaret called and asked if I would be the Santa at the local Salvation Army premises. As I was on duty that day, my father (a Magistrate in the Family and Juvenile Court) offered to take on the 'gig' and did so for several years afterward. Both Margaret and my dad cared about the future of children and prayed that they would have a blessed future. Margaret was the beloved sister I never had. - Posted by: Richard Hickling (family friend) on: Oct 30, 2022

• I have many fond memories of your mother both as a mother and a volunteer at school. Some go way back to when she worked in her dads bakery with my sister. Margaret was a force to be reckoned with and had a heart of gold. Hold on to all the good memories and she will be in your hearts forever. - Posted by: Ruby Zacharias (Old fruend) on: Oct 29, 2022
