Marg, with her business partner, Clora Bonnell, owned and operated Estabrooks Drygoods for many years. Marg and Jerry settled in Woodstock NB soon after they graduated from Acadia University. They were active in many Community associations and were well known for love of family, good friends, good food and hospitality.

In addition to her husband, Jerry, Marg was predeceased by grandchildren, Brian DeLong and Jane Demmings.
The family expresses gratitude to the staff of the Women’s Institute Home and Carleton Manor for their compassionate care of Marg during her time with them.
There will be no visitation at this time. A memorial service will be held at a later time to celebrate Marg’s life.
For those who wish, remembrances made to Woman’s Institute Home, Carleton Manor or charity of the donor’s choice would be appreciated.
