Margaret was the matriarch of our family. She lived her life to the fullest and always kept her Scottish roots and traditions close to her heart. Margaret was a woman of deep faith and belonged to the Catholic Women’s League at Corpus Christi Parish. She spent endless hours crocheting for family and friends, which brought her great joy.
