Margaret was a longtime resident of North Vancouver where she lived the majority of her life and became part of the North Shore Community early 1960’s.

Her special noted accomplishment was starting her own business “Gem Trees of Happiness by Margaret.” This artistic hobby allowed Margaret to purchase gemstones and sell her trees throughout the world. She taught classes in how to make gem trees in Germany, while residing there for seven years. Margaret was an avid world class traveler.

Margaret was a beautiful and gracious soul, with a good heart. Her life of 98 years was an inspiration and example for many.

She will be dearly missed and forever Loved.
