Ian and the entire Carroll Family, it has been a long time since I saw or spoke to Marg but I know it would have been like I just saw her yesterday,
Marg was a that type of personality.
She definitely brought more smiles then frowns into a room and this world, for that we say thank you Marg.

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.

She was a wonderful person, I always enjoyed seeing Marg she always greeted me with a smile and a friendly good morning all those years that she drove me to lucan and biddulph schools and latter on to Medway. There was lots of great chats on the Medway bus when I was the last one off and be the only one on for a mile or two. In latter years running into her was always a joy. Rest in peace Marg

Mark Heimrich
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.

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.

“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.
Matthew Iredale
I love you and miss you grandma. You meant so much yo a lot of people. I’m heartbroken that you are gone but I know you’re in a better place. I LOVE YOU.
