She was predeceased by her husband, Les Edwards, parents Daniel and Kathleen Wilson and her brother Bob. Margaret grew up and lived in West Kildonan. She attended Victory and Centennial Schools and was a member of Kildonan United Church since her youth. She worked at Eaton's in the offices. After marrying Les, she was involved in their many business ventures. They enjoyed many years at the family cottage, near Seven Sisters, where they made many life long friends. She enjoyed collecting Hummel Figurines. Her "Girls Club", with her close friends was a high light of every month. She loved to travel, and enjoyed many cruises and "get a ways" with her good friend Les Wade. Many family dinners were held for holidays and celebrations, drinking their home made wine. Mom was the best pastry maker - her butter tarts and pies were unsurpassed. Her family by far was most important to her. She was proud of everything we did. Every milestone was a celebration! The Family would like to take this opportunity to especially thank JOCELYN HOUSE STAFF, for their excellent care and time spent with Mom. A Memorial Service will be held on Monday, September 14 at 1:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. with Rev. Boyd Drake officiating. Ash Interment to follow in Brookside Cemetery.
