Margaret taught for the St. Clair Catholic District School Board for over 35 years and has been very involved in St. Paul’s parish through Cursillo, choir and the CWL. She will be remembered as a budding photographer, a wonderful cook, an avid home-canner and herb-gardener. The grandchildren will remember spending time with Granny at the beach and ending the day with an ice-cream sandwich. Margaret had a strong faith and shared her home and heart readily with others. As Margaret would say “God is good to us”. We encourage you to share your love for Margaret by saying a prayer for her. May God Bless.
