On the evening of March 5, 2016, at home and in the presence of her family, Margaret Aeneid Harwood (Nee McKechnie) passed away peacefully. “Archie” as she was known by family and friends will be greatly missed. Our Mother had a resilient tenacity for life and placed family ahead of all things. A nurse, business women, social worker, advocate, and volunteer, she often gave more of herself proving the old adage that the sum can be greater than the parts.
Deeply missed by her husband of 56 years, Dave Harwood and her three children, Douglas, Gwyneth, and James; her sisters, Anne, Joan, Mary Ellen and brother, Neil; her grandchildren, Shane, Melissa, Hunter and Maddison, who all welcome you to join us at 3905 Hobbs Street in Victoria B.C. at 1:30 pm on Sunday, March 20, 2016 to celebrate her life with us.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Val Coulter I wish to extend my sincere condolences to Dave and family. Archie was a classmate at Victoria High School and graduated with me in 1954. I remember her well as she was always smiling and was so pleasant to everyone. I’m unable to make her celebration of life but would like you to know that I will be thinking of you all at this most difficult time. I know she will be missed. Most sincerely, Val Coulter, (nee Speed)
