Margaret had a wonderful sense of humour and was an abiding and gentle presence in her family.

Of special mention are her close neighbours, Mark and Gloria, and Anne. Margaret will be lovingly remembered by her stepdaughter Shireen Loat (Gary) her grandchildren, Jennifer King (Roy) and Allison Loat; her brother Jack McGrath (Marie) sister-in-law Willis McGrath; her many nieces, nephews and many other friends and extended family.
