BERTRAM, Margaret Ethel
May 13, 1912 ~ April 17, 2019

Margaret passed away peacefully at Vulcan Extended Care at the age of 106 years, just short of her 107th birthday, which would have been on May 13. She was born in Canora, Saskatchewan, the oldest of four girls to Bessie and Alex Smith. The family moved to Grande Prairie where she and her sisters spent their younger years. After her marriage she moved farther north (Ft McMurray) and then to southern Alberta (Irricana, Sundre, Calgary and Strathmore) where she resided for the remaining years of her life. She made many friends during that time and enjoyed gardening and various handicrafts. Margaret enjoyed good health and her mind was sharp right up to the end, remembering details that brought back many memories when visiting family and friends. She is survived by her four children: Ethel, Allen, Karen, and Gordon; seven grandchildren; several great grandchildren; and one great-great grandchild. A Funeral Service will be held at Mountain View Funeral Home (1605 100 Street SE, Calgary) on Saturday, May 4, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. followed by interment at Mountain View Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, donations in Margaret’s memory may be made to the Strathmore Hospital (www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/strathmore-district-health-foundation/).
