MARIE MARGUERITE JEANNE (MARGARET) SLATER
It is with great sorrow that we the family announce the passing of our dear mother. Peacefully on Saturday, January 19, 2019 at Red River Place in Selkirk, MB Mom was called home to be with her Lord at the age of 76 years.
On January 10, 1943 Margaret was born in St. Laurent, MB. She started working in the service industry before she became a full-time mother.
Margaret worked at Stonewall Hospital until her retirement in 1999 as the head of housekeeping. Mom was a hard worker, meticulous in her vocation. Her attention to detail was exceptional.
In her earlier life with Dad, they enjoyed many activities together such as bowling or playing cards with friends and travelling and camping with family. After her retirement and loss of her beloved husband Mom volunteered to drive clients to various appointments. She also enjoyed line dancing and joined the “Red Hatters” in Stonewall.
Margaret was very dedicated to God and Lutheran Church of the Cross. Over the years, Mom volunteered and served on the Altar Guild/Greeter as well as going to church conferences.
Left to cherish Margaret’s memory are children, Howard (Brenda), Kathy (Keith), Jeffrey; three grandchildren, Joshua (Brittany), Aaron, Evan; great grandchild, Avery; sisters, Irene, Mathilda, Grace, and brother Edmond; as well as numerous nephews; nieces; relatives and friends. She was predeceased by her loving husband Merril in 1999; mother Rose; father Celestine; sisters Edna, Pauline and Jeannine.
