Margaret May Gerrie (nee Whatley) was born on January 8, 1929 and passed away peacefully in her sleep on August 9, 2020.
Margaret was born and grew up in Fort William, Ontario (now part of Thunder Bay). Naturally a cautious person, Margaret showed a spirit of adventure when she moved to Winnipeg as a young woman. There, she gained employment at the Canadian Grain Commission where she worked for most of her life, and met her husband Lyle Gerrie.
In the late 1960s, Margaret and Lyle set off on another adventure and moved to the Marpole area of Vancouver, where she lived ever since.
Margaret had a long and fulfilling career, as well being an active member of the St. Anthony of Padua Parish where she made many lifelong friends. She loved animals and doted on her two dogs.
She saw the humour in everyday life and was quick with a wry joke.
She leaves behind fond friends and family.
Margaret was pre-deceased by her parents, Albert and Theresa (Huchola) and her husband, Lyle.
A Private Mass for Margaret will be held August 27,2020. Donations in her name may be made to the SPCA.
