Margaret was born in Saskatoon, SK.
She spent her childhood growing up in Regina and Saskatoon.
When she was 16, her father passed away suddenly leaving the girls to be raised by their mother, Katherine.
Margaret married Frank in 1954.
She worked for the Government of Saskatchewan in various Departments including Secretary to the Chair of the PSC and Secretary to Mr. CM Fines, Minister of Department of Finance.
She took time off from work to raise her family and returned to work with the Provincial Government once the children were all in high school.
Margaret and Frank stayed in Regina, until 1967, and in the fall of that year, they moved to an acreage near Lumsden, SK.
They lived there until they retired to B.C., in 1988, first to Cranbrook, before they settled in Penticton in 1993.
Early in their marriage, Margaret and Frank played badminton at the United Church on Friday nights, and played ping-pong every night at home, after supper.
She also enjoyed meeting her dear friend, Gladys, after work at the Wascana pool to enjoy a swim.
Margaret was also an avid card player.
We enjoyed many games and battles of solitaire over the years.
Her final card game was in September 2011 at The Hamlets in Penticton.
She chose to alter the rules and so many laughs resulted from the game.
She enjoyed playing bridge with friends over the years, and knitting and needlepoint, especially in the winter months.
She was so proud of her family and took great pride in each of their accomplishments.
Her favorite place to travel was the mountains, especially Banff, Tunnel Mountain, Lake O’Hara, Moraine Lake, and Lake Louise.
She grew up with hiking in her blood and passed that on to her family.
The family would like to thank Dr. Cobbin, all the staff at The Hamlets and also to the staff at the Penticton Regional Hospital, 3rd floor, South Pavilion for their care of Mom while she was there.
