Thinking of Aunt Mary Margaret automatically just brings a smile to my face. Personal memories include: A stop-over in Alberta on their way to Alaska when they willingly stayed longer to help build my deck; being assured that Aunt Mary Margaret would come for a family dinner at the Earley’s whenever I was in Ontario; and the love and friendship she shared with Mom, enabling her to travel more since Dad’s death.
She was a wonderful person and will be missed. Our thoughts are with you.
Terry & Janice Cox & Family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. We will always cherish our memories of your Mom. She will be missed by many! May all your memories of your Mom and to know others deeply care help you through this time.
Jean Stuart
Looking back over the many years we have been together, a few thoughts come to mind. The two trips she and I took to Timmins to Donna`s after Don was gone. We had such a good time. Then we got the folder on the boat coming back about the B& B`s around Owen Sound which ended up with five of us on a weekend of flowers and gardens. So many beautiful memories of Marg.
Love
Aunt Jean

Julia & Stephen ,Susan & Ron, Fran & Wade and families. Aunt Mary Margaret will be greatly missed , as she was part of our family gatherings and everyone loved her and her infectious smile and kindness. My fondest memories will be of her bouncing up the walk way at 8:15 a.m. ready to start a fun filled day of quilting and the quilt trips we enjoyed together. You have many treasures and memories in the quilts she has made for each of you. Our family circle is stronger because of her. Love and peace. Lynda and George

Jerry and Alice MacLean
Susan, Fran ,Stephen and families,
With saddness we say goodbye to Mary.
Alice had the pleasure of shareing an office with Mary for almost 25 years. It was a pleasure to have Mary work on the MacLean team for that period of time!
After that we became golfing buddies and that to was a friendship we will cherish.Being here in Maple Leaf we can visualize Mary flying around on the golf cart with a big smile on her face and her dear friend Shirley hanging on.
What a legacy she has left behind! Everyone loved Mary!
She was so very proud of all of you.
You have big shoes to fill…we are sure you can do it!
God Bless all of you,
Alice and Jerry MacLean.

Aunt Mary Margaret’s always positive attitude and love for life and those around her, will keep her alive in our hearts forever. She was a lady that asked little of others, while always prepared to give.

I loved to sit with your mom at Sakura House. She was pleasant and never complained about anything, We had good talks about how she loved her children and she said she had a very strong spirituality and wasn’t afraid to die so I believe she was at peace
