I’ll never forget how accepting and loving my Aunt Margaret was.
She shared so many wonderful stories of my Dad (her brother Ed who passed away in 1949), stories that I will always cherish. Our visits were always special and Dave, my Mom and I always looked forward to seeing her. We will miss her bright eyes and warm smile.
Rest in peace Aunt Margaret and God bless.
You will always remain in our hearts and memories.
Love Barb and Dave

Vaughan, Brian and Families….my deepest condolences on the loss of your Mother, my Aunt. I have many fond memories of times I spent with your Mom, who was like my second mother dating back to the years in Granton. A trip to Sudbury with your Dad, Mom, Diane and you Vaughan, as a baby, when your Dad worked for Vessot in the 1950’s. Summer vacations with your Mom and Dad for me and my brothers and sisters to give our own parents a rest. Truly a second home. Backyard skating in Bryanston on the rink your Dad built along with the hot chocolate your Mom kept us warm with…And who can forget the time spent at the cottage at Port Franks where your Mom was host to us and our friends on many summer Sunday afternoons.
Fondly remembered ….Dennis
Vaughan and Rosemary Hartwick

It’s tough to say good-bye to my dear aunt Margaret . She was a huge part of my growing up , essentially a second mom to all of us Gidley kids. She kept us guys in line, and was always very sweet and funny.
My sincere condolences to you guys. Aunt Margaret will never be forgotten.

Emily Austin
I am so sorry and saddened to have lost my rock,my inspiration, my loving friend and someone who treated me always as family.
We shared a journey together and we had many fun times.We were always so close and shared so much from the time we met.
It was the closest thing to having a mother. No one will ever know truly how much we shared and loved each other.
I will always remember as she referred to me as “kid” and she was always “my Aunt Margaret”. A true treasure a strong women who always stayed strong for everyone. Her love for music and even sometimes when she didn’t feel like playing for me she always did. The last song she sang and played at Chateau Gardens last year was “Easter Bonnet” Vaughn ,Rose,Tracey Brian and family my sincerest condolences. She will never be forgotten. Until we meet again.
Lovingly Emily AKA Kid Christeen sends her sincerest condolences as well.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Memories of Margaret at Bryanston Church playing the piano and her brother Bert playing the organ for the Sunday services. My children both were in the junior choir when she was the choir leader. Margaret and her Bryanston friends always enjoyed bowling when Don owned the bowling lanes.

To Vaughn & Brian and families:
My sincere sympathy to you at this sad time. I remember Margaret
going back many years when her family was very small and she
would bring them to Bryanston W.I. That was when it was held in
homes. As a teenager I was often invited to sing at the meetings.
Margaret was lovely person always with a gentle smile. I know you
will all miss her but keep your memories alive by speaking to your
children about her caring ways.

Marnie Hope (Gidley)
Brian, Vaughan and families:
A great loss for the Gidley family, your Mom, my Aunt, who always treated myself and brothers and sisters like a part of her family.
We all shared great fun with your family during the ‘cottage years’ at Port Franks. It seems like only yesterday, when Diane, Pat and myself would spend a summer week at the cottage, walking the beach and enjoying marshmellow roasts by a campfire, which Uncle Cliff would get going for us after dark. Those were the days of innocent fun.
Christmas’ with our two families was always special. Your Mom made certain that everyone received a present, much to our delight. Monies were tight, so we treasured these gifts.
As her namesake, I will always hold a special place in my heart for my ‘great’ Aunt Margaret.
Loved and Cherished forever…Marnie and Ron
Gladys Shaw
