MARGARET (PEG) PEREUX (nee KEMBALL) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, grandmother and great-grandmother on Wednesday, July 23, 2003. Margaret was born in Haywood, MB on March 10, 1920. The family moved from there to Thalberg and then to St. Georges and Powerview, MB, where she spent most of her life. On October 7, 1937, she married Roger and together they successfully operated stores in Fort Alexander, Bloodvein and Powerview, MB; also the Gravelbourg Hotel in Gravelbourg, SK. Margaret was a loving, caring and giving person. She was very involved in the Pine Falls Health Auxiliary, the Womens Auxiliary of the Catholic Church and many other charities. She worked as a cook for the Pine Falls Hospital. She doted on her two sons and later her four grandchildren with whom she spent much time and loved dearly. Mom excelled at many things, such as gardening, sewing, cooking and also enjoyed a good game of rummy. Her spicy sense of humour and warm smile endeared her to many, especially "her girls". She is survived by her two sons, Denis (Carol) and Ed (Diane) four grandchildren, Ron (Tina), Kelly (Cindy), Lisa (Brad) and Leanne (Paul) also seven great-grandchildren; her sisters, Mary (her best friend), Terry, Hilda and Dorothy; her brothers, Fred, Art, Donald and Richard.
