MARGARET GREENWOOD Peacefully, at the Grace Hospital, on October 22, 2004, Margaret Greenwood passed away at the age of 92. Margaret was predeceased by her parents, Arnold and Sarah Greenwood; her brother Alan Greenwood; and her sister Eileen Cann. She will be sadly missed by nephews, Ron (Daphne) Cann, Idris (Gaye) Greenwood, David Greenwood; niece Megan (Joe) Gauthier; and grandnephews, Sean Cann, Brett Cann, Marshall Gauthier, Michel Gauthier, and Joel Gauthier. Margaret was born in Winnipeg on May 22, 1912. She lived virtually all of her life in the eastern area of Winnipeg, in Elmwood, East Kildonan and North Kildonan, until March of this year when she became a resident of the Charleswood Care Centre. Margaret spent her working life in the florist business, retiring from Sargent Florist in 1975. In 1976 she and her sister Eileen moved into their apartment in North Kildonan where they lived until Eileens death in 1999. Margaret continued to live in the apartment until this year, when due to infirmity she resided at the Charleswood Care Centre. She took particular pride in the fact that she managed to live independently until she was 91. Margaret and Eileen travelled extensively throughout United States and Canada, which was a source of enjoyment to both of them. They were also longtime Blue Bomber season ticket holders and were avid football fans. Margaret will be remembered by friends and family as a feisty, but kind and gracious lady throughout her long life. Cremation has taken place. A service of remembrance will be held at 1:30 p.m., Wednesday, October 27, at Klassen Funeral Home, 1897 Henderson Hwy. Internment will follow at the family plot in Elmwood Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of ones choice. The family wishes to thank the staff of the Grace Hospital and the staff of the Charleswood Care Centre, in particular nurses Cindy and Josephine for their compassion and understanding through this difficult time.
