Marg graduated from Queen’s University with her Bachelor of Arts Degree. She then began her teaching career at Napanee District High School, moved to Stratford Central Secondary, then to Ridgetown District High School with Ken. After the boys were born, she became the school librarian at Howard Harwich Moravian Public School.
Marg loved her community and friends she had in the church, service groups and in her gifted skills of tole painting, quilting, needlepoint and horticultural society activities. She enjoyed reading, her book club, and the Friends of the Library Committee. Winning at scrabble was a joy as was travelling with family and friends. Her gentle sense of humour and kind heart helped share her years in Ridgetown. She was a warm, caring lady who will be sadly missed by many.
