Margaret was a long term Campbell River Bridge Club member, where she achieved the highest level, Senior Master. Bridge was a passion of Margaret’s. She often played in tournaments that took her across Canada and the USA. One of her highlights was playing against Omar Sharif, in Las Vegas, one of the world’s best known contract bridge players.
Margaret enjoyed gardening. Some of her favourite flowers were daffodils and carnations. She also took pleasure in baking cookies with her grandchildren. Solitaire at the kitchen table was another activity she also enjoyed very much.
