Death notice for the town of: Eckville, Province: Alberta
When I heard of Marg’s passing my heart broke but at the same time I was flooded with so many happy memories. A wonderful lady heading a wonderful family. Much love to all of you.
I knew Marg briefly during the Cessford days (and EVERY time I cook bacon I think of her ‘stirred’ bacon Marg style!) If you knew Marg you knew shared laughter – she had a wonderful sense of fun, and one always felt welcomed in her company. What a neat couple you two were Eldon, hugs,
I only knew Marg briefly in the Cessford days – where she taught me to make her famous ‘stirred’ bacon in true Marg style. Where there was Marg there was laughter, and often hilarious chaos, you always felt welcomed by her. You were an amazing and unique couple Eldon, hugs.
