“Grandpa Ron” and family.
We are very saddened that our dear “Grandma” Marg has passed. She was a good neighbour and friend for many years. Jericho always loved the rides she gave him on her walker. She loved to sit and visit in the gazebo and had a wonderful sense of humour! I loved hearing her stories of growing up in Scotland. Her presence has been greatly missed since she moved to Seaforth.
May you dance with the Angels now Marg!
Love: Lynne, Aldane, Jordann, Abbi, Jason and Jericho Haughton.

Condolence from Ray & Judy Mills on August 30th, 2024 8:30 AM

To Margaret’s Family:
Please accept our deepest condolences at your loss of a wonderful, friendly, kind lady. I worked at one of the schools where Marg drove the school bus. She was strict but fair and enjoyed her job. I also taught Ian and as a parent she was supportive, interested in his education and just wanted her best for her children. After she retired, no matter where she met me she would take time to catch up on the news and share her latest happenings. She was such a delightful lady. She will be missed. God Bless.

Condolence from Mark Heimrich on August 30th, 2024 9:00 AM

Ron & Family;

Our sincere condolences to you all. Marg was always such a fun loving person. I always enjoyed my visits to the farm with both Marg & Ron. Then subsequently on Victoria Street Exeter. I’ll never forget her kindness when our son Spencer was born. She had a gift for him which was certainly not at all expected but nonetheless much appreciated. Marg & Ron were very valued customers for many years. You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this time. Rest in peace dear Margaret.

Mark & Julie Heimrich, Sarah, Scott & Spencer and staff at Lifetime Water Products.

May you all be comforted in the days and weeks ahead by your many fond memories.

Dear Ron, Brenda, Ian and all of Marg’s family,

I was saddened to learn that Marg had passed away. Her last few months were hard and I pray that she is now at peace. I met Marg 4 years ago and it was always nice to be greeted with her friendly voice each Wednesday when I visited both she and Ron, to take her place playing cards with Ron for an hour. She loved it if I happened to bring along her favourite rice pudding! She was amazing with all the knitting she did…her hands were never idle. I was thankful to receive some of the dishcloths she had made. Please accept my condolences and I am thankful I had the opportunity to meet Marg. Cherish your happy memories together.
