Marg taught school in Maitland, NS before joining the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1951. She was proud of the fact that she was one of the first female radar technicians to graduate from the RCAF Communication School in Clinton, Ont. After 4 years in the RCAF, Marg returned to a teaching career which she retired from 30+ years later. She was an avid skier and loved playing cards at the local Legion (632) and spending time at the Roy Hobbs Center. Marg was beautiful inside and out and was always there for anyone who needed advice, a shoulder to lean on or just a good chat. She will be missed dearly.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Marvin and Margaret and the rest of the staff at Portebello Manor for providing such loving care.
Due to Covid-19, Margaret’s Memorial Service will be postponed until the summer, 2021.
