Months shy of her 100th birthday, Margaret Gordon passed away peacefully at the home of her daughter Mary in Comox, BC.
She was predeceased by her first child Wendy, in 1954, her husband Michael in 2000 and her second husband Douglas Daws in 2014.
She is survived by her three children: Ian (Debra), Mary and Jennifer (Ernst) as well as by grandchildren Katie (Craig), Jessica (Alessio), Andrew, Chris (Gloria), Scott (Caroline), Matt, Jeff (Brianna), and great grandchildren Jonathan, Helena, Joshua, Elizabeth, Jordan, Kai, Austin and Leon.
Born in Rugby, England, Margaret was the youngest of seven children. She emigrated to Canada with her family in 1927 and settled in a farming community on the Niagara Peninsula in Ontario.
Margaret married Michael on July 28th, 1945 in Ottawa, Ontario. They moved to the west coast and resided in Vancouver, Chemainus, Victoria and Kamloops. Later in life, Margaret moved to Comox to be closer to her family.
As matriarch of the family, Margaret was the last of her generation. Loved by her family and all who knew her, she was warm, gracious and kind and possessed a smile that would light up a room.
