Margaret moved from Comox to Kelowna in 1976. She enjoyed meeting families through her children's school activities and sports in Rutland and always enjoyed the camaraderie of this great community. Margaret worked at Vanguard, on the Fintry Queen and then at B.C. Fruit Packers for close to thirty years where she met many friends who felt more like family. She had a soft spot for animals and volunteered her time to the SPCA. Anyone that met Margaret loved Margaret - and if they didn't - it was their problem.:) She was a very caring, considerate, and loving woman who gave more than she received. She had many talents including gardening, cooking, and baking and was a jack of all trades around the house. Margaret was a fun loving, social person who always made you feel welcome. She was fiercely proud of her children. Special thanks to the loving staff at Kelowna Hospice. Their friendship and care for Mom and her children during this difficult time will always be remembered.
