Margaret Goertzen

September 16, 1922 – October 25, 2014

It is with great sadness that the family announces the sudden, yet peaceful passing of our sister, aunt and great-aunt Margaret on Saturday, October 25, 2014 in her home at Riverwood Square. She was 92.

Margaret leaves to cherish her memory her sisters Katherine Penner and Mary Dyck, sister-in-law Mary Ann (Jake), her brothers Bill (Donna) and Irvin (Helen), and many nieces and nephews.

Margaret was predeceased by her parents David and Margaret, three brothers, David, Isaac and Dave, sisters Linda and Annie, and brothers-in-law John Penner and Ernest Dyck.

Margaret was born in Steinfeld, Southern Russia and emigrated from Russia to Canada with her parents and sister Katherine in 1930. In the 60s, Margaret opened her own business in Winnipeg (Margaret's Beauty Salon on Pembina Hwy) becoming one of very few women to do so during that time. Margaret’s life was filled with family and travels that took her all over the world. Never one to sit still for long, she kept herself busy throughout her life, and even though her later years forced her to slow down, she never stopped going out on short trips with her friends and family around the city and surrounding areas.

A memorial service will be held at Thomson “In the Park” Funeral Home at 1291 McGillivray Boulevard on Thursday, October 30, 2014 at 10:00 a.m.
