I’ve thought about what to write all week. Michael and I are in Alberta so we will be watching on line. Marg was like a big sister to me. At a very young age her mom Ruby Ackerman Stone died leaving Marj and her brother and sister to be raised with help from their dad, my mother (her aunt)and others. It was a difficult time and Marg , Arnie and her family always stayed close to our family. Marg was amazing in so many ways. Her smile could light up a room and the love she and Arnie had for one another was like a fairy tale. Each year Arnie gave her a rose for each year they were married and yes 61 roses sat on their table the last year they were together. Both loved their children fiercely and set an example of the true definition of love. We will miss her forever. We are so very sorry that we can’t see you in person but in the weeks ahead we will. All our love, Valerie (Kilfillen) Drury and Michael Drury and children

Nancy, Susan, Wendell, David and families:
We are saddened to hear about Marg's passing but it brings back many fond memories of a wonderful woman, family friend and neighbor (Elliott Row and Melanie Drive). Roy's parents (Art and Bessie) often played cribbage with your parents and the two families went on a vacation together in New Hampshire. Our thoughts and prayers are for you at this time.

Our deepest sympathies to the entire family on the passing of Marg. My greatest memories of Marg are during my childhood years in Lakewood Heights and stopping in to the house on Lakeview Drive and the special cookie jar and the rocking chair in the kitchen.
I will miss her dearly.
Love Tanya and Dean

So sorry to hear about the loss of your beautiful mom, gramma, great gramma, sister, aunt and friend to many. Thinking of you all and your precious family at this time. I first met your mom and dad at Susan and Rick's wedding. I was so welcomed with her loving arms and the love of the entire Donavan family. Mamma bear Donavan was over the top with joy as she was celebrating her children’s marriage. Your mom has always put her family first and loved you all so dearly! I had the wonderful opportunity of seeing her again just recently on a zoom call, while Rick and Sue were visiting us and enjoying a holiday with us. There she was with a twinkle in her eye and a smile that lit up the room as she wished us a fun time and a good visit together! It was wonderful to see her again! Your mom always had your backs and celebrated all your comings and goings! I know how much you loved her and we are praying for all of you through this journey as she returns to her Heavenly Father, the one who loved her first! May God carry you through these days ahead, and hold you close to him as you say goodbye to a beautiful lady. Love as always - Rick and Zon and all our family.
Xoxo

Nancy, Susan, David and Wendell - A note to express my condolance to you at this time of Marjorie's death. She and Arnold were wonderful neighbours during our years on Rivercrest Drive, and my late wife Norma and Marjorie were close friends. Here at Parkland my apartment was almost adjacent to Marjorie's and we passed one another frequently.
My wish is that every blessing from God will surround each of you during this time of memory and of celebration of Marjorie's life. I will not be able to attend the funeral service but pray that you will be most surely kept in God's care and in each other's fellowship in the days ahead.

My sincere condolences to all of Marg’s family. Growing up as a next door neighbour to the Donovan family for so many years, we were almost like family. Arnie gave me a part time job at his office and I would babysit for them. I always admired Marg, they would be getting ready to go out to a dance and she always looked so lovely! Such great memories! I will be thinking of you all at this difficult time. In my thoughts and prayers!❤️

So incredibly sorry for your loss. I was so fortunate to have known “The Candy Lady” and what a wonderful soul she was. Marg (and Arnie) always treated us like we were one of the family and she always took the time to say “hi” to me at every Creamer Gathering, and find out what was new in my life. I wish you strength, during this difficult time.
