Taggart, Margaret Ellen, 51, Bass River, passed away peacefully early on February 8, 2013 at the Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro after a courageous sixteen year battle with MS. Born in Truro, she was the only daughter of Hazel (Fletcher) and the late Donald Taggart. She had a love of traveling and enjoyed an active lifestyle for many years. Margaret started her own Eco-Tourism business in the 1990’s, bringing tourists to the Shore area. Her friends know her for her strong personality, quick wit, and sense of humour. Besides her mother Hazel, Bass River, she is survived by brothers, Michael (Darlene), Truro, Tom (Zylpha), Ted (Kathy), both of Bass River; nephews and nieces, Ryan, Thomas, Alysse, Jillian, Megan, Carly and Brady. Her family would like to extend a sincere “thank you” to Dr. Karen Ewing and the doctors and nurses of Wing D at Colchester East Hants Health Centre. We would also like to extend a special “thank you” to the girls who have cared for Margie over the past several years and the many people who have supported Margie in many different ways. In particular Margie really appreciated the support that enabled her to go to the Vascular Clinic in Rhode Island. Her family would like to thank everyone who touched Margie’s life in any way. No visitation by request. A Memorial service will be held on Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 2 p.m. in Riverside United Church, Bass River with Rev. Florence Antle-Brison officiating. Interment at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the MS Society of N.S. or to the Riverside United Church, Bass River.
