Margery passed away peacefully on November 28, 2006 at the age of 90. Margery was born in Silver Stream, Saskatchewan. She was predeceased by her loving husband Francis and her brother Allan. She is survived by her son Lyle (Mary) Garraway, her daughter Linda (Keith) Ramsay and her sister Joan (Neil) Christensen. Gramma Marge played an important role in the lives of her grandchildren: Dale Garraway, Helene (George) Hayek, Renee (Paul) Kelly, Michael (Susan) Ramsay and Lorinda Ramsay. Margery was so proud of her seven great granddaughters: Amanda, Miranda, Rachel, Rebecca, Sierra, Sarah-Grace and Abigail. Margery will be missed by her many friends, especially Jo White and Ina Harris. She, also, leaves behind her sisters-in law Nellie, Alice, Pat and May (Don), as well as many nephews and nieces.
Margery and Francis lived in Flin Flon, Manitoba; Colonsay and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan; and Victoria, BC. They owned grocery stores in Colonsay and Victoria. In Victoria, Margery worked at Woolworth’s, Kelly Douglas and Sears.
Margery was very involved in many activities at First Baptist Church. Her faith was important to her. It was a comfort to know that she was going to be welcomed Home when she closed her eyes for the last time.
The family would like to thank the many people at Esquimalt Pharmasave, John Alfred Manor and Mount Tolmie Hospital who helped to ease Margery through her final months. We thank you all so much! You were so supportive to us all!
A memorial service will be held during the Christmas holidays to allow her family and friends to say goodbye. The time and place will be announced at a later date.
