PETERSON, Margaret Jane

November 4, 1923 ~ January 18, 2024

Margaret’s 101 years on earth unfolded in five stages.  She grew up on the farm in the Namaka area, married Earle and raised three children while running a general store, enjoyed farm life in the Clive area with second husband Alex, spent over 30 years in Calgary meeting new friends after being widowed a second time, and passed away peacefully in her sleep at Bow View Manor where she received excellent care.  

Margaret will be lovingly remembered by her children: Gail of Okotoks, Sandra (John) of Three Hills AB, and Barry (Carole) of Calgary; her four grandchildren; eight great grandchildren; and her sister Jean Pischke.  She was predeceased by her parents, Margaret (née Smitton) and William Fawkes; first husband Earle Buker;  second husband Alex Peterson; sister Nancy Shaw; and brothers, Jack Fawkes and William Fawkes. 

A Celebration of Margaret’s Life will be held in Calgary when the flowers are in bloom this summer.  In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice.
