Margaret J. Ferguson (MacMurchy) died peacefully, Monday, Oct. 15, 2018, at the Kincardine hospital, in her 95th year. Survived by children, Glen (Doreen), Grant (Diann), Wayne (Diane), Mary Lynne (Murray), Kevin, and Carol (Bill). Also greatly missed by grandchildren, Doug, Julie, Kerry, Sarah and Jenna; great-grandson, Everest; sister, Audrey; and several nieces and nephews. Predeceased by husband, William; sons, Ron and Roy; and sister, Norma. Margaret was an avid reader, gardener, and a retired teacher who had a life-long joy of learning. She was a member of the Retired Women Teachers of Ontario (RWTO) which celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2016. At that time, she told the South Bruce branch that she was teaching in Kingsbridge in 1956 and remembered being storm-stayed at the school. "It was so cold, we took the heavy curtains off the windows and rolled them up like blankets. I enjoyed teaching, and I still meet some of my pupils which is a real joy." She will be missed by her family and many friends. A Celebration of Margaret’s Life will be held at the Pine River United Church, Saturday, Oct. 20, 2018, at 11 a.m., with visitation two hours prior. Interment Lochalsh Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Kincardine and Community Health Care Foundation, the Pine River United Church or a charity of your own choice, would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy. |
