After growing up in Olds, Alberta, Margaret moved to Calgary as a young woman and studied at secretarial school. She met Don, her lifelong partner and best friend, in Calgary where they married, worked and raised their family. Margaret and Don shared a passion for music, singing, travel and most of all, their family. Margaret was a long-time member of Sweet Adeline’s and sang with Chinook Winds and Alberta Gold as well as in many quartets and the Gold Diggers ensemble.

A devoted and loving wife, mother, and grandmother, Margaret will be missed and remembered by her three children, Catherine Clarke, Terry Clarke (Barbara), and Susan Clarke, her three grandchildren Jason, Alix, and Molly, her great grandson Kai, her sisters-in-law Madge Clarke and Mavis Bush, as well as many nieces and nephews.

Margaret was predeceased by her devoted husband of 61 years, Don in 2014, and by her three brothers Glen, Malcolm, and Willard.
