Margaret Stevenson
1936-2018
Margaret Annie Stevenson of Arthurette, NB, passed away peacefully at
Hotel Dieu St. Joseph Hospital on September 12, 2018.
Margaret was born in Odell, NB, on November 25, 1936. She was the
daughter of the late Douglas and Mary (Cooper) Wright. Margaret leaves
behind her son, Danny Stevenson (Melanie) of Arthurette, NB; her
grandsons, Alex and Bill Stevenson, both of Arthurette, NB; her
sisters, Elsie Henderson of Orange Vale, CA, Gloria Moran (Gerry) of
Drayton Valley, AB; her brother, Richard Wright of Alberta.
She was predeceased by her parents; her husband, George Malcolm
Stevenson; her sister, Kate Finnamore; brothers, John and Gerald
Wright.
In her earlier years, Margaret spent a lot of time in the outdoors
with her sister Kate. They would play a game to see who could name the
most flowers and birds they would see in the wild. When she was 14,
her mother fell sick and she dropped out of school to help her father
with the house chores and helped raised her three younger siblings.
When she was 17, she married the love of her life, George Malcolm
Stevenson, and moved to Arthurette. Her life revolved around her
family and community. She was the first President of Arthurette Royal
Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary, Branch # 85. In her later years, her
grandsons were a source of great pride.
Respecting Margaret’s wishes, there will be no visitation. There will
be a graveside service held on Friday, September 14, 2018 at 2 pm at
the Arthurette Baptist Cemetery. Mr. Kenneth Campbell officiating.
For those who wish, memorial donations to the Victoria County SPCA or
the NB Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated by the
family.
