December 29, 1939 - August 12, 2018
On the morning of Sunday, August 12th, we lost our beautiful Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother and friend. She passed at Penticton Regional Hospital with family surrounding her. Margaret was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Her family moved to B.C. and she attended Saint Anne's Academy in New West and Kelowna University becoming a teacher. Margaret settled in Kamloops in 1970 where she lived and worked for many years. Her career change to the travel industry was ideally suited to her and she enjoyed travelling the world, meeting people and sharing laughs with those who were fortunate enough
to cross her path. She was passionate about family, friends and loved ones including furry friends and she would always stop to pat a passing dog. Marge was fortunate to find the love of her life in Bert (Herbert Lennartz), her partner for 25 years. They retired to Penticton where they both spent their final years. I'm sure Bert has been waiting to hold her in his arms again.
Mom's generosity of love and spirit, her quick wit and sense of humor, as well as her sage advice, will always be treasured and remembered. She is predeceased by her parents (Robert and Evangeline Milne), her older brother Renee Milne and his wife Hazel. Margaret leaves behind many cherished friends, her daughter Corrine Andreasen (Jack), her grandchildren Loryn Greer, Gordie Greer and Chelsea Heppner (Rory), Great Grandchildren Braeden and Colton, her much-loved flatlander relatives Bobby & Janet and Cheryl & Ken (and all their beautiful children whom she loved), and her beloved Mexican rescue dog Angel and kitty Heidi. She will be forever missed and always in our hearts.
Thanks to Drs. Davidson and Dutchman and nurses Lea and Flo and all the staff who met Marge at Penticton Hospital. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to a favorite animal charity or local SPCA. "What we have once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us."
