Margaret passed away March 19, 2016 in Vancouver. Predeceased by her parents and survived by her brother, Frasier (Marilyn) and two nieces, of Perth Australia.
After leaving Perth at a young age, Margaret started a three week journey to London, England, then continued on to Toronto and Winnipeg, finally settling in Vancouver where she was always a west-end resident.
Margaret will be dearly missed by her many friends. She brought laughter and fun to any gathering.
A private gathering will be held in Margaret’s honour at a later date.

Margaret was my first friend when I moved to Vancouver in 1970 – we met in the women’s washroom at work! And later found out we lived just one street apart in the West End, and frequently walked to/from the office from then on and became good friends for many many years, attending concerts and entertaining/going for dinners. We met my parents, who were travelling through Arizona and Nevada, in Las Vegas where Marg & I went to see Elvis performing at the Hilton! When Marg moved to Calgary for a few years, we often got together with my parents who had moved to Medicine Hat – they were very fond of Margaret – and I had the privilege of meeting her parents when they visited Vancouver from Australia and we often exchanged stories about our respective families, including her brother, his wife and family in Perth. Lots and lots of memories – among her attributes some of the things that stood out – she was very intelligent and had great strength of character. Margaret was extremely generous; she always found “just the right” gift for whatever the occasion and you could not deter her from giving when she valued your friendship. Over the past few years we were not in touch as I moved to different parts of the Lower Mainland but my photo albums and my memories will always be reminders of Margaret, with much love.
