MARGARET ISABELLE HOGG It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our beloved mother, Margaret Isabelle Hogg (nee Tooke), on Thursday, June 3, 2004. She was predeceased by her husband Robert Cowan Hogg in 1993, mother Cecille Vivian Tooke (nee Hallett) in 1991 and her father Ernest Noble Tooke in 1954. She is survived by her loving children, Marilynne, Maureen and Robert (Heather) and her much loved grandchildren, Robbie and Lorrain-Marie. She is also survived by her brother Robert Tooke (Diane) and family. Born and raised in Winnipegs north end, Mom worked in a variety of occupations throughout her life, starting as a waitress at Picardis restaurant and ending her working life as a high school Business Education teacher in CFB Shilo, MB. Moving frequently throughout her married life, due to Dads position with DND, Mom and Dad happily retired in 1977 to their home in Whytewold Beach on Lake Winnipeg. Flowers gratefully declined. If friends so desire, a donation in Moms memory to any of the following charities would be greatly appreciated: Winnipeg Humane Society, the Firefighters Burn Fund, or Friends of the Elmwood Cemetery. In keeping with Moms wishes, no funeral service will be held. Cremation will take place and private family interment of ashes will be held in Elmwood Cemetery at a later date. "When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my childrens lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting for their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. - The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry". Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk, in care of arrangements.
