Margaret grew up in the Rich Valley District and had fond memories of her classmates and neighbors. Margaret married Cliff LaClaire and they farmed in the Rozilee District. Margaret and Cliff loved their farm and were very good custodians of their land, enjoying watching their crops grow and prosper. Margaret was a very skilled gardener and homemaker and enjoyed sharing her produce and goodies she baked. Margaret loved the farm, nature and family and friends but due to declining health Cliff and Margaret sold their farm and moved to Shellbrook. She quickly learned to love her new place and her new neighbors. In 2016 Margaret moved to Caleb Senior Complex in Prince Albert and spent 2 happy years there and then due to declining health moved to Wheatland Lodge and was there until her passing. Margaret appreciated everyone that was kind to her throughout her life. The family would like to thank all caregivers and good friends, who were a support to her in the past and up until her passing.

A beautiful life came to a sudden end. She died as she had lived everyone’s friend
She was always thoughtful, loving, and kind, What a precious memory she left behind,
She left us peacefully, her thoughts unknown. But she left us memories we are proud to own.
