BAGG, MARGARET STANWOOD (NEE DRUMMIE) - passed away peacefully at The Berkeley Halifax, Wednesday, November 21, 2007 at the age of 91. She was predeceased by her husband, Douglas Gorden Bagg and her first born, Douglas Christopher. Missed dearly by her older sister, Frances Knight Clark of Saint John; two sons and three daughters-in-law, Douglas Robert and Gay Conrad of Halifax, Deryck Drummie and Cynthia of Toronto, and Margie MacDonald of Halifax; her grandchildren, Leslie, Jeremy, Amber, Tamara and Tyson; and her nieces and nephews, Thomas Clark (Roberta), Margie-Jean (Clark) Ouellette (Roger), William Bagg and Virginia (Bagg) Repei. Margaret was born in Saint John, NB in 1916 to the late Thomas Francis and Margaret Elizabeth (Knight) Drummie. She attended Netherwood School in Rothesay, New Brunswick, graduating with honours, and subsequently Dalhousie University, from which she received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1937, and two years later, her Bachelor of Laws Degree. In 1939 she was admitted to the Bar in the Province of New Brunswick. While at law school, she met another law student, Douglas Gorden (Doug) Bagg of Montreal, and they married on the 6th of December, 1941, in the city of Saint John. Following the war the couple took up residence in Montreal until 1963 when the family moved to Norwood Street in Halifax. Margaret was always active, both in Montreal and Halifax, with a variety of projects, usually involving hospital auxiliaries, neighbourhood centres and other similar undertakings of value where her intelligence, knowledge, and great kindness would be of value. Her husband died in 1975 and for the next 30 years she ran the house on Norwood Street, which was always open to friends and guests, and known for its hospitality, warmth, and good cheer. She was active for many years in the Antiquarian Society, and continued to make many new friends which increasingly included the friends of her two sons, all of whom always held her in high esteem. In the late 1970's, she returned to Dalhousie University to do a Master of Laws, where she made friends with fellow students from around the world who continued contact with her for years after. She was a woman of intelligence, grace, humour, courtesy, and kindness, and as everyone knew, not an easy person to get the best of. Indeed, she was the finest example of the affection one receives when one treats others with grace and respect. She will be greatly missed, and we all are the richer for knowing her. Visitation will be at Snow's Funeral Home at 2666 Windsor Street, Halifax, Friday, November 30th, 2 to 4 pm and 6 to 8 pm. A private family burial will follow on Saturday. According to her oft expressed wishes, a wake for all her friends will be held Saturday, December 1st. Her friends are invited to celebrate her time among us, and to indulge in good cheer, in the Masthead Room, Ryan Duffy's (Spring Garden Road) that Saturday from 7 pm to 11 pm. No flowers please, but those who wish would be welcome to make a donation to Feed Nova Scotia in her name. Special thanks to Gloria Haskett and all the caring staff at The Berkeley.
