Margaret was born Oct. 8, 1932 in Winnipeg. She was predeceased by her husband Edward Abraham Guenther, her parents and numerous siblings. Left to carry fond memories of Gram are her daughter Brenda Baschuk and Brenda’s two sons Dale and Mark. Also left is her son Blaine Guenther married to Brenda Adair with their two sons Jesse and Dylan. There are three great grandchildren Emma, Vivienne and Quinn. Eddie, her husband, passed many years back and
Marge was faced with the daunting task of raising 2 teenagers.
She spent much time catering social events and constructing awesome wedding cakes. In 1980 Margaret decided to take her life savings and purchase a business. The family ended up buying Nopiming Lodge at Bird Lake. It was a bit of a “roller coaster ride” to say the least. While she was at the lodge, her “magic kitchen” produced countless pies and soups. Needless to say she will be a hard act to follow. She completely enjoyed her life at the lake. Due to health concerns she had to leave the business in April 2017 and move into care.
A Celebration of life will be held on Saturday April 20th from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at Nopiming Lodge Bird Lake. All are welcome to attend. If there are any questions please call 204-884-2402 or preferably e-mail [email protected]
The family would like to thank all the support and caring she received at Ironwood Supportive housing and finally at Lac du Bonnet Personal Care Home.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Margaret’s memory can be made to Siloam Mission, 300 Princess St. Wpg. MB. R3B 1M3
