Parr, Margaret (Margie)
Peacefully at home with her family, Margaret Laura Parr (nee Bakker) passed on June 17, 2021 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Loving wife to Ronald Parr for almost 40 years, cherished mother to Dean of Edmonton, and Laura (Luke) VanderBaaren of Brockville. Proud Oma of
