Google Maps of Hamilton. Predeceased by her parents William T. and Ellen (Graves).
Margaret was a proud product of the east end of Hamilton (Garside Avenue), and a graduate of Delta High School. She was an enthusiastic member of the Class of ’55 at McMaster University; in 2015 Margaret and Peter were honoured with the Distinguished Service Award from the McMaster Alumni Association. Margaret worked as a title searcher after completing her BA, but soon began a fifty-year career as a full-time volunteer. She was one of a group of remarkable Waterdown women who made things happen in the village – the Canadian Red Cross Society, Arts Flamborough, Animal Aid, the Waterdown-East Flamborough Heritage Society, the Waterdown Centennial, strawberry socials, walkathons, fashion shows, and a host of activities through Grace Anglican Church. She was also active in the Anglican Diocese of Niagara, and was a past chair of the Wentworth Library Board. Margaret was a passionate knitter, a life-long cat lover, a discerning art collector, an avid spectator of curling, and a patient fan of the Toronto Blue Jays.
We would like to thank all the wonderful people in the palliative ward at Victoria Hospital and at St Joseph’s Hospice (both in London) for their compassion and loving support in the last weeks.
Visitation will be held on Monday, July 23, 2018 from 7-9 p.m. at KITCHING, STEEPE & LUDWIG FUNERAL HOME, 146 Mill Street North, Waterdown, with the Funeral Service at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, July 24, 2018 at GRACE ANGLICAN CHURCH, 157 Mill Street North, Waterdown.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the With Grace Capital Campaign, Grace Anglican Church, P.O. Box 727, Waterdown, ON, L0R 2H0
