“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him” 1 Corinthians, 2:9

Mary Margaret Campbell (nee Hofmann)—our beloved “Maggie”—was born in Iserlohn, Germany on July 30, 1957, to Melvin and Isabel Hofmann. Melvin had been stationed in Iserlohn as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. Maggie was the youngest of five, sister to Sharon, Barclay, Tim, and Don. She was four months old when her family made the journey back to Canada on a ship called the Queen Frederica. Though they passed through the tail-end of a hurricane, Maggie slept through it all, at peace in the storm. 

After her early childhood in Petawawa and Winnipeg, Maggie’s family finally settled in White Rock, where she spent the remainder of her school-age years. She was a keen student, friends with many. After graduation, Maggie lived in 100 Mile House for a year with her sister Sharon, working at the medical clinic. The two shared a rustic log cabin a few miles out of town and enjoyed many adventures, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and ice-fishing in the area.

Maggie became a Christian when John Clarke, the pastor of her lifelong friend, Darlene, introduced her to Jesus. Pastor John and his wife Lyza invited Maggie into their home to care for and disciple her. She became a part of the family.

About three years later, while living in White Rock, she planned a visit to her friend, Dede, in Victoria. Leading up to this visit, Dede had raved about Maggie to her fellow Bible-school student, Scott, and asked if he would like to meet her. A blind date was arranged for the upcoming visit. But even before they were introduced, the moment Scott saw Maggie enter the sanctuary with Dede, he turned to his friend Tom and said, “She’s the one.” Tom responded, “This is exciting!”

Six weeks later, Scott and Maggie were engaged, all while he was living in Victoria and she in White Rock. Despite the costly phone bills, they continued to have a long-distance courtship until they married on May 7, 1983. Once married, they wasted no time in having children. On June 9, 1984, Joseph, their first son, was born. Less than three years later, Benjamin was born on April 5, 1987. 

Scott became the Assistant Pastor at Trinity Christian Centre in March of 1988. Scott and Maggie later planted New Life Community Fellowship in September of 1995 and continued pastoring the church up to the present. 

As the “Pastor’s Wife,” Maggie beautifully defied the stereotype with grit and grace, feistiness and humour, passion, humility and above all, authenticity. She loved to come alongside women and encourage them, and to cheer them on in their faith, whether one-on-one or in a small group setting. She especially delighted in mentoring younger women. She poured love into so many lives. Maggie had a gift for hospitality and enjoyed hosting guests at her table. She baked the best bread and loved to give the loaves away. Her generosity was felt by so many, often in the form of a note or card or surprise gift to someone who needed it, always done quietly and behind the scenes. 

From September 2001 until she retired in October 2021, Maggie worked at Canadian Blood Services in administration and as a phlebotomist, where she excelled in both roles. She so enjoyed welcoming and caring for donors, and her steady presence in the office made her beloved by her colleagues. She was known for her strength of character, her warmth and kindness, her listening ear, and yes, her sense of mischief. She knew how to bring the fun to work.
Maggie found great joy in spending time with her family. She especially cherished time with her husband, feeling such a gratefulness to God for having him by her side through life’s celebrations and challenges. Maggie also loved her sons deeply. She took great pleasure in hearing of their various achievements and adventures, and delighted in spending time together with them, whether during family dinners or movie nights, when simply sitting and talking about their lives. 
When Maggie laughed, it was music in the room. She had a zeal for life that was contagious. She loved the years she had with Mandy, the family’s yellow lab. She loved sunsets, the ocean, and storms—the wilder, the better. In the beauty of Creation, she said she saw the majesty of God. 

Maggie loved God, she loved His Word, and she especially loved to worship, often having music playing on her computer, at work or at home. One of her favourite songs that meant so much to her was “No One Ever Cared for Me Like Jesus,” by Steffany Gretzinger. She especially loved to worship with her church family. “Imagine what the worship in Heaven will be like,” she used to say. “Just imagine.” 

Maggie went to be with her Lord on Thursday, January 13, 2022. She will be deeply missed by her family, her church, her many friends, but especially by her loving husband Scott, and their sons Joe and Ben, all of whom loved her, all of whom can’t imagine this world without her in it.

I hadn't seen Maggie for several years before her passing but I was heartbroken when I heard she wasn't expected to make it. She was a very important person to me during a difficult time in my life, meeting my grief and confusion with such warmth and compassion and kindness. Every speaker at her memorial service painted the same picture, and I'm in awe that one person could be that person to so many, but she was. She was a truly special person and the world is a little darker without her - all we can try to do is extend a little bit of what she showed us to others.

Maggie, I wish I had seen you more in the last few years. Your passing left a hole in my heart and I miss you, but I'm glad you're home now and at peace. Please know that I'm trying to pass on your kindness in the small ways that I can, that so many of us are, and that your legacy will live on through the lives of all you touched.

Love,
Ash

Maggie...I wish I had known you, everything said about you here just got my heart heavy, that I wish I'd met you. That you would have touched my life the way you did others. I pray for strength for your family and all that knew you dearly.
You are home with Jesus, and that is comforting.

Hi ya dear sweet Maggie, I think you would have been so joyful of this service given in your name. The beautiful words of your Scott & of your boys, of whom you spoke of so proudly over the years, will forever live on. And it is clear that you touched so many hearts of friends that you would call family as well. I remember sharing jokes or funny stories with you at work & even after we both went back to our work spaces we would see each other across the room & start the laughter all over again! Gentle soul you can soar now above the clouds. I asked my Holly girl if she could greet you up there when you arrived. I hope she found you. To Scott & Joe & Ben I send you healing hugs & many thanks for sharing your precious Wife & Mom with the world. ⚘ paulette

Listening to the on-line tribute to Maggie's life has reminded me that she was so open to sharing her life as I remember so many of the moments in her life that were shared by her family and friends. I had the pleasure of working with Maggie for 15 years and although I lived in Nanaimo and did not see her in person very often I never felt the distance. We opened up about our lives and she gave me wonderful advice in raising my children and a perspective that allowed me to not worry so much. Maggie helped me so much in my work life and touched every person that we hired, as she helped them navigate their travel and training and was so welcoming. I will miss you so much Maggie and you will be forever in my heart. Her work family has been touched by such grief in her passing and it feels impossible that she is not with us. I am so grateful to have known her and will treasure my memories. My heartfelt condolences to Scott, Joe and Ben as well as all of her work family current and over the years. We were all touched in a profound way by Maggie and she will be forever be missed.

Scott, Joseph and Benjamin, we are so sorry for your loss. Maggie was such a strong, vibrant woman, and we are all still in shock that she is gone. We will not be able to join you today, but we are watching the service on line. Scott, take care of yourself.

Since I started at Canadian Blood Services, I always felt an immense connection with Maggie. We bonded over so much in so few years. I recall a time she went to Hawaii and sent me a potato chip chocolate bar. She was also so funny. I just came across this past week to an email where she shared a silly word of the day (it was "hinky") and she just knew how to brighten your day and make you laugh. I just remembered another time maybe in 2016 that we wanted to video call her with our laptops (before the immense usage of conference calls today) and we all came on but she didn't expect it and told us she needed to comb her hair before she came on. These memories make me smile so much.

I worked as a clerk alongside her, soon became a Staffing Clerk and would be booking her for shifts, and eventually became her Supervisor in 2017. When I came to visit from Vancouver, we would just have such a wonderful time together and she'd joke that it was like having a daughter as she heard me navigating life. If anyone had ever felt like a mom at work, it was Maggie. She cared so deeply about my personal life, my heart, my relationship with God - in a way that showed she loved me and cared for me so much. She thought and prayed for me through love and heartbreak; she offered to mentor and counsel me through those tough times.

We also went through tough times together at work and we supported each other. I wish I could have seen her more often but we kept in touch and shared photos back and forth of our loved ones. She always shared such beautiful moments of her life and wanted to share of the joy she experienced with us, which I always appreciated. I loved seeing trips to cozy spots or beautiful beaches around the Island.

I remember when she told me her love story. That exact story above of how she met Scott. What a beautiful story; I remember thinking "Wow, that is such a kind of special love." Scott, you married a marvelous Godly woman who loved and cared so deeply. She was beautiful, kind, thoughtful and witty. Despite our distance, Maggie always made you feel like you mattered. I will miss her. I am sorry for your loss, Scott, Joseph and Benjamin. You're in my thoughts and prayers. ❤️❤️Maggie was so loved. ❤️❤️

Dearest Maggie,
We grew up together in the church as young mom's and wives. We Raised our babies together, had many coffees, play dates, dinners and camping trips. Oh how I remember the many laughs we would have over the simple pleasures of life. We were kindred spirits in our journey of family, friends and faith. When time would pass and we wouldn't see one another much, when we did grab a coffee or have that dinner we would just pick up where we left off. Mag, you were a dear dear friend and I will always miss you.  Your legacy lives on in all the people you touched and we will never forget you. Scott, Joseph and Benjamin are a testimony of your love and care for your family. I'm sorry you left us so soon, we will meet again at the banqueting table. Scott, Joe and Ben please know that you are in our hearts and daily prayers. Much love to you! Jim and Shelley Cochran

My heartfelt condolences to you Scott, Joe and Ben,
It is with profound sadness that we all learned of Maggie’s passing - what a tragic loss of such a vibrant woman, beautiful soul, treasured friend, beloved wife and mother.
I feel blessed to have worked with her for so many years and to have called her friend. She was the heart and hub of our team and central to so much of our operation. Her warmth and caring and authentic nature, not to mention fabulous sense of humour, helped create a wonderful feeling of family for our island team.
She will live on in our hearts and memories and work, which she was such an important part of. Much strength and deepest sympathies to you.

   The quality that drew me to Maggie when we first met in Northern Ireland so many years ago is one others have noted—her authenticity. She struck me then and throughout her life as being so very real. To know Maggie was to be invited to become more real with her, more honest with one's self, and more open to God's transforming grace.
   My heartfelt sympathy goes out to those who loved and enjoyed Maggie and especially to those who now feel her absence most deeply. Scott, Joe, and Ben, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Paul and I have been part of the New Life family for over 20 years. During that time Maggie has always been a strong, warm presence. Somewhat quiet until approached...be it by a person or the Holy Spirit. Then the spark of love or mischief that is always there lights up. She asks about how you are doing, gives encouragement or a joke, or stands up and shares a Word from our beloved God. Our Church family and myself personally will miss her so much. And our hearts break for our wonderful Pastor Scott, and sons. You know where she is and that she is full of joy but the loss here on earth is profound. Paul and I send our love and support.

Both Greg and I have fond memories of the early days of Maggy and Scott, while Scott was working with Greg on pianos, and through fellowship at TCC. So grateful for the opportunity to have known and loved them both. Sending much love to the family and may you find rest and comfort in the Everlasting Arms. Ps.91

It is with profound sadness that I write about the great loss of dear Maggie. I had the pleasure of working with Maggie for 10 years and we soon became close friends both in and out of work. Most mornings we would check in with each other and most times shared a laugh, a new recipe, the fun she had cooking with Joe or we'd talk about our boys. Maggie's family meant the world to her.... her boys that she was so proud of and Scott who truly was the love of her life. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family during this incredibly difficult time.  We will all miss her laughter, her smile and most of all her.

This world’s sad loss is Heaven’s joyous gain…. Lisa’s and my heart ache for you Scott, Joseph & Ben as you grieve the loss of dear Maggie. We enjoyed hanging out with you guys in our “Trinity / New Life” days and have fond memories of Maggie’s tender heart, humour and humility. Always loved catching up when we’d cross paths at CBS now and then. Her smile would light the room and no matter how much time had passed in our lives she showed a keen interest in what was currently happening with our family. Such a gem! … “We’ll meet again at the festival of friends…” (B. Cockburn)… Love and prayers to you… P&L

Maggie was and is love, light, laughter and as everyone has already shared she was authentic. She loved crazy goofy jokes...I will miss her laugh and just her whole presence. I feel blessed to have known her here on earth and look forward to seeing her again in our eternal home. I will remember Maggie when I look at wonderful things on this earth - the ocean, sky, the stars....a beautiful eagle was flying right above my car for some time yesterday and it caused me to shed another tear thinking of her. Scott, Joe and Ben you are in my heart and prayers.

I was uniquely blessed - I got to share with Maggie both at church and at work during the five years I worked at CBS. It was such a privilege to be able to come upstairs during a break at work and share with Maggie whether something troubling or perhaps a good laugh. Maggie always made time for others, willing to share out of her experiences and the storehouse of treasures she had built up through her relationship with Jesus. She may no longer be with us in body but for all of us who knew her, she remains present in our hearts. Dance with joy Maggie !!!

It is with deep sadness that I learned of Maggie’s death. I offer to Scott , Joe, and Ben and her family my sincere sympathy at this time of great loss of a beautiful woman.
Our paths crossed at Canadian Blood Services , where we worked together and I shared her love and wisdom of living .
Maggie had many qualities , which she so willing shared with me.
My memory reminds me of her love for Scott and her boys and their lives , her church family , Storm watching in Tofino , and her love of Tennis and Roger Federer
I am pleased I was given the privilege of meeting Maggie. Until I meet you again .
Rest In Peace Maggie

I can't imagine what you're going through in your grief or how you are coping with this huge loss. Still, we rejoice in the celebration of her life and her eternal reward. What a beautiful tribute you created. The song says it all. I wish I was there to give you a huge hug.

Maggie was LOVE. 
Shane and I attended New Life with our children for almost five years before moving up island. Church camp, ladies retreats and Sunday services allowed me opportunity to get to know her. Beautiful, encouraging and joyful. Whenever I returned for a service or even a retreat, during the past decade, Maggie would always warmly welcome me home with a smile, a hug and a twinkle in her eye.

I loved it when Maggie would come up front during worship with her Bible in hand and share something God was putting on her heart. It was always so solid and upbuilding. I treasured any times I had to chat with her. She had a unique gift for connecting deeply and authentically with people. I rejoice with her in her new heavenly home and weep for the loved ones left behind, especially Scott, Joe and Ben. Where there is love there is pain sometimes. We know that in the big picture there is a time for everything including the loss of a dearly love one. Its almost hard to imagine that all things work for the good of those who love God. When God begins to bring new things that will make us wonder at his glory, Maggie's rich deposit in our lives will not be forgotten.

How does one express the amazing essence and spirit of Maggie. Her compassion, kindness, and uncomprimising belief in all that is good cannot pay tribute or truly capture the sense of loss we are all feeling.
I had the honour and pleasure of working with Maggie since she joined Canadian Blood Services in 2001, She was a amazing person who played a unique and special roll in our clinic . Her beautiful smile, sense of humour and gentle demenour had a calming effect on us all. I feel blessed to have known Maggie, and I want Scott, Joe and Ben to know how much she meant to us . Rest in Peace Maggie

I also worked with Maggie. She was a warm, calm presence in our midst. One memory that makes me smile is how she got up and payed tribute to her husband and said how much she loved him. We were at our staff Christmas party but it was also his birthday that day. And then they danced. So lovely. She would have the biggest smile when she talked of her boys….eyes all lit up. So proud of them. We are all sending best wishes to family members.

I worked with Maggie when I moved to Victoria in 2007. Maggie is one of those people who never forget birthdays, seemed to know when you needed a kind word, a hug, or a really good cup of coffee. I was blessed to work with Maggie for 10 years. Maggie had a zest for life and loved to spend time with family and friends. I am very sorry for your loss. I know I was truly blessed to have had time with Maggie.

I had the delightful experience of working with Maggie for nine years, and she was consistently the most kind, warm, funny and genuine person. She had a sharp sense of humour, she was always quick to laugh or to make anyone else laugh, and she was the first to listen if you had concerns or just needed to chat, and was completely non-judgemental. I’ll always remember her very deep love of her family and of tennis, I’ve never been able to hear the name Federer and not think of her. She made everyone better and we are lucky to have known her. All the best on the other side, until we meet again. Xo

I enjoyed a wonderful work friendship with Maggie over many years. Maggie was a great support to us all, a calming and reassuring way with a great sense of humour and friendly laugh. Maggie had time and an interest in everyone’s life and made one feel valued. We knew Maggie’s family to be central to her as well as her role leading and supporting church activities. Daily briefings during Joes’ bicycle trip across Canada are something I will never forget. I am happy and honoured to have known Maggie, it is difficult to lose such a friend.

I also knew Maggie through work where she was always so supportive and willing to go the extra mile. Maggie would step up in situations where she was needed to fill gaps in the schedule or to allow us to bring in extra staff and extra donations. Maggie’s work touched the lives of many blood donors and many, many hospital patients. My heart goes out to her family and to the team in Victoria where her loss will be deeply felt.

I remember the first time we met Maggie - June 1982 on the way to an outreach with John & Liza Clark and Bruce Robertson to Northern Ireland. I watched with wonder and delight as she visited Victoria and her love with Scott grew into their marriage. Then her 2 sons Joseph & Benjamin (because they would be good brothers - Maggie said). She’s been a dear soul throughout all the years and tender hearted to everyone she came in contact with. She’s free and rejoicing in her precious Saviour’s care. Jesus comfort you with the knowledge and the grace that we will all be together once more forever, our Scott and your sons.

Maggie was a true kindred spirit to me. Though we were of different generations and she'd known me since I was born, age didn't matter to her. When we had dinner she'd always ask specifically for a booth so we could have privacy to chat. She always asked, "How's your soul?" and "How are your iron levels?" I'll always remember the feeling of her attentive and loving presence across the table. I could talk to her about anything; we laughed a lot, and sometimes cried. She brought hope by walking through pain with me, not avoiding it. With Maggie I felt seen and loved, never judged. I knew she was on my team, and I believe she still is. I'll miss you, Maggie; you were very loved.

What a lovely tribute to Maggie, and it is so fitting as she was a beautiful person, inside and out. I count it nothing short of a privilege to have been her friend. We’d hit Romeo’s each season to delve deep into current events and no go zones such as politics, happy to have each other to discuss anything and everything, yet always being mindful and grateful that the Lord is in control of all things. I’ll cherish our walks and talks and laughs, boy, did we ever find a lot of things very funny. Maggie truly loved and cared for others. Many a time I found myself asking for prayer for myself and my family; Maggie not only would pray, but she would follow up and keep in touch with each situation. Her compassion and grace extended far and wide and she will be so missed.
 I have it on good authority she was most proud of her boys, Scott and Joe and Ben- our hearts go out to you all. Rest well, my friend, until we meet again.

Dear Scott,

I just came to the church website and saw that the love of your life went to heaven may GOD fill your heart with his love and use you in powerful and awesome ways as the years come and go. I now live in South Surrey. Love In Christ Brian Kool

Dearest Maggie,
We grew up together in the church as young mom's and wives.  We Raised our babies together, had many coffees, play dates, dinners and camping trips.  Oh how I remember the many laughs we would have over the simple pleasures of life.  We were kindred spirits in our journey of family, friends and faith.  When time would pass and we wouldn't see one another much, when we did grab a coffee or have that dinner we would just pick up where we left off. Mag, you were a dear dear friend and I will always miss you.   Your legacy lives on in all the people you touched and we will never forget you.  Scott, Joseph and Benjamin are a testimony of your love and care for your family.  I'm sorry you left us so soon, we will meet again at the banqueting table.  Scott, Joe and Ben please know that you are in our hearts and daily prayers.  Much love to you!  Jim and Shelley Cochran
