It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of a loving and wonderful mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend. Margaret passed away on Sunday, Feb. 14, 2010, at the Northside General Hospital after a brief illness.
Her faith, strength and courage upon learning of her illness and up to the time of her passing was truly amazing.
Born Jan. 31, 1920, in the Points, West Bay, she was the only daughter of the late Alex and Susan (Morrison) Campbell.
She was a member of St. Matthew Wesley United Church, North Sydney.
Margaret was a dedicated employee of Speedy Propane for 27 years.
Margaret was a kind and caring person and was so proud of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a wonderful cook and her great-grandchildren especially loved Granny’s Christmas shortbreads and chocolate chip cookies. She will be deeply missed by everyone who knew and loved her, especially her family and friends.

She is also survived by sister-in-law, Jean Campbell; special niece, Darlene; special nephew, Russell (Sheila) Wilson and great-nephew, Roy. She will also be sadly missed by her two furry friends, Panda and Cupie, especially Cupie.
She was predeceased by her husband, Stanley and her brother, Roy.
Margaret and her family were so grateful and appreciative of the kindness and care she received from the nursing staff on second floor at the Northside General Hospital and also to Dr. Paul Hickey who was her family doctor for many years.
