Born in Shanghai, December 14, 1923. Died in Toronto, March 29, 2024.
Loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
Beloved by her sister Grace, daughters Louise (Kim), and Grace (Noel), grandson Graeme Wood (Louisa) and great-grandchildren, Zuleika and Hanzo.
Margaret was the fourth in a family of ten children. She graduated from Aurora College for Women in Shanghai in 1946. In 1949, she immigrated to Canada to attend the University of Toronto and to join her fiancé. Married in 1949 to T.C. Jack Kwan, she was tragically widowed in 1956 and left alone to raise two daughters.
She was rightfully proud of returning to university in her 40’s and graduating as the first female landscape architect from the University of Toronto. Her career achievements and friendships with her colleagues were legendary and sources of great satisfaction. She was admired for her calligraphy, creativity, bravery and strength under physical adversity.
Margaret had many treasured friends from varied walks of life starting from her childhood and continuing into her senior years. She was often the oldest person in a group of much younger coworkers with whom she remained in touch after retirement.
She was an accomplished seamstress, knitter and weaver and could create and mend anything. She had a remarkable memory, and a great appetite for learning, using her iPad well into her 90’s and avidly followed the travels and writings of her grandson, an international journalist. She enjoyed eating and had a surprisingly impressive appetite for someone her size. One of her last words was « steak », a favourite food of hers.
At Margaret’s request, there will be no funeral. A celebration of life will be planned for a later date. If preferred, donations in Margaret’s name may be made to the charity of your choice.
