Marg was a very special lifelong friend. Although we did not see each other as often in recent years, we shared a lifetime of memories that I will always cherish and never forget.
Loving thoughts are with Janet, Steve and their families, June, Doreen, and Doug during this difficult time.
The Peterson's says
Mothers never truly let us go, even when their grip has loosened. Every second of our lives is treasured by our moms, and later by our grandmas. Marg shared a genuine warmth and a grounded sense of realism that we were lucky to experience a few times while visiting Warman, SK. She is a treasure who led with love and will continue to guide, in even the smallest nuances, through cherished memories. Sending you our heartfelt condolences.
Kim Lumley says
To Janet and Steve, I’m so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. Aunt Marguerite was a caring and thoughtful person and will be missed by all fortunate to have known her! Although I didn’t spend much time with her lately, my mother tells many stories of their lives growing up on the farm in Mooretown. Have comfort knowing that she is with her sisters, and Grandma and Grandpa Robbins. Thinking of you and your families in this difficult time. Kim Lumley and family.

My heart is broken having lost one of my best friends. We were in University together in Dental Hygiene and remained friends ever since. The four friends got together for trips and fun times each year. I will always hold here in my thoughts and know she will be in a better place.

Marg and I grew up together in Sunday school and lived at her aunt Helen’s in Toronto when we took dental hygiene. Four of us girls have had decades of fun getaways and made many unforgettable memories. She was such an amazing caring friend to so many and such a proud mother and grandma. I love and miss you my friend. “She Flies On. “
