Margaret was born in Lampman, SK. She moved to Regina in her late teens to take a certificate of journeyman in Beauty Culture. Margaret hair dressed at the Golden Mile in Regina and than in Lampman where she opened Margaret’s Beauty Salon. Margaret had many dedicated clients over the years doing sets, perms and haircuts. Margaret worked 40 years as a hair dresser Tuesday to Saturday but on every Monday, you would find Margaret in her kitchen baking buns, cinnamon buns, butterhorns and donuts. Margaret cherished the line up of kids after school on Mondays that were at her door waiting to sample what had been baked. Everyone got something! Cooking and feeding her family was pure enjoyment for her. There was no greater joy than sending butterhorns home with her grandchildren or flipping big pancakes for breakfast to feed her family.
Margaret retired and went to work part time at Lampman Centennial Care Home in the kitchen for a few years.
Margaret loved her home, family and friends in Lampman and was sad to leave them but cherished all the memories that were made in her home town. She moved to Esterhazy to be closer to her daughter Brenda. She spent 17 years in Esterhazy where she again made special friendships and spent much time with her daughter.
She impacted many people (friends, family, strangers, nurses and Doctors) with her courage and positive attitude to fight cancer. She refused to give up and took chemo until 2 months ago when the cancer had spread to her liver and lungs.
This last year she moved into Maple Street Manor and formed such close bonds with the staff and residents. She always had a smile on her face and an ear to listen. She had the ability to lift the spirits of everyone at the Manor and enjoyed her time drinking coffee and having the odd cigarette.
She was so proud of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and was not shy to tell everyone that she was.
Her love for music is in us all and we will continue to remember Margaret (Our precious mom) by listening to her favorite songs.
Margaret told her children every time they saw her and right up to the very end;
“To enjoy everything now and to laugh often, because you never know when it can end”. Margaret did just that.
