Margaret Irene Block
Margaret Irene Block
70, passed away peacefully at home while surrounded by her loving family on November 14, 2018 after a short battle with acute leukaemia. She was diagnosed with this disease only nine days before God took her home. Born in Coaldale, Alberta, Marg is survived by her mother Amalie (99), two brothers and five sisters. A woman of deep faith and constant prayer, Marg loved creating a home that was cozy with thoughtful beauty, connecting with friends through coffee and phone calls, reading and journaling. She was the loving mother of Jennifer, Philip (Andrea), and Dale (Dawn), raising them in Red Deer, Alberta. Breakfasts on their backyard deck and coastal road trips with Ben, the love of her life for forty-five years, were highlights of their later years in Nova Scotia. Known as “Grammy”, she is survived by her precious grandchildren, Ella (18), Ava (16), Judah (14), Sophia (12), and Annie (10). We mourn her passing with deep sadness but rejoice that she is in the presence of her Lord and Saviour. A graveside service will be held at William Black Cemetery in Glen Margaret, NS on Sunday, November 18 th at at 1:30pm, followed by a casual reception at Marg’s Lower Sackville home, which was her sanctuary. Marg and her late husband both suffered from blood conditions. In lieu of donations and flowers, please consider giving blood to your local blood donor clinic (www.blood.ca/donate).
