She is survived by her children, Hugh, David (Patricia) and Donna (Tom) Deis and her grandchildren, Tasha Peck, Aaron Peck, Eric Deis, Sandra Deis and Laura (Brent) Riel. She was raised in Port Rexton/Trinity East, and Harbour Grace, Newfoundland. She graduated from Memorial University at St. John's, Newfoundland. A war bride, she left her native land to be with the love of her life, first in Saskatchewan and then retirement in British Columbia. Margaret will be deeply missed by her beloved children and grandchildren and all those who loved her. She will be remembered for her optimism and magnanimity, her sense of humour and forbearance, her compassion and moral fortitude, her knitting, her service to the community and her devotion to her parents and family. The family wishes to thank Dr. Eric Baasch, all the staff of Weatherby 1 at Peace Arch Hospital, in White Rock.
