Margaret Dowling

MARGARET JO DOWLING Margaret Jo Dowling was a dancer. One of her great joys in life was being a Rockette at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. As her daughters, we recall her dancing with our father. They danced the foxtrot and made heads turn when they moved gracefully across the ballroom floor. Jo did Irish dancing with a group of friends in Florida where she lived. She danced through life with elegance, grace and rhythm. Her family was central in her life. She loved being surrounded by all of them. Jo passed away peacefully in the home of her daughter Diane on Friday, January 25, 2002, when she went to join her husband Ed up in heaven where they are now dancing together again. She is survived by daughters, Maureen (Mrs. Robert Paulson) of New York City, and Diane (Mrs Irvin J. Kroeker) of Winnipeg.
