Mom’s life was busy raising children, working in her church and community.  In later years, she was employed as a tailor and milliner. You could always find her at her sewing machine. She loved to travel and visited many countries, as well as numerous states in the U.S.A., cruises were special. She enjoyed visiting and meeting new friends. Mom was a great supporter of Moose Jaw and always expressed thanks to the city as a wonderful place to raise a family. She supported the Union Hospital, Providence Place, the Spa and was most interested in seeing the Multiplex building. Margaret enjoyed her years at Langdon Towers, Rosewood and lastly the Mulberry Estates. She looked forward to all the big birthday celebrations and gathering of family and friends, the 100th party was very special. 

Rest well Mom you were a loving mother and a fine lady.

Donna Pahl - Calgary, AB: Auntie Margaret was one of a kind. We will always remember her twinkly eyes, easy laugh and her gracious and kind manner. When you caught up with her at a family gathering, there were reams of photos accompanied by spirited descriptions of everyone and everything. Every inch of a Christmas card was used to great advantage to share all the latest family news. Family was her focus. As a teenager, it was very exciting to spend time with cousin Deb in Moose Jaw, hang out at the farm and at Margaret's home, visiting The Rack daily to see what was new. She will be dearly missed but is no doubt already enjoying the social activities in heaven. Love Donna, Leanne and Stephanie Pahl
