Margaret was a lifetime member of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Owen Sound. She taught Sunday School, played piano and directed the junior choir. She was also the President of the CGIT. Margaret worked at Noma as a secretary before working at the UIC, until she married and moved to the Farquharson family farm.
The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to the wonderful and caring staff at Georgian Heights LTC; to Dr. Huff and Dr. Tweedie for their excellent medical care over the years, and to the staff at the Alzheimer Society of Grey-Bruce for their informative and supportive guidance during the difficult journey with their Mom.
A private graveside service will be held at Annan Cemetery. A public service to celebrate Margaret’s life will be held later when we can share embraces and gather in a safe setting. Arrangements are entrusted to the Brian E. Wood Funeral Home, Owen Sound, 519-376-7492.
