OBITUARY:
OLIVER, Margaret Helen (nee Carr)
October, 1918 - November, 2010
It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Margaret Oliver, beloved Mom, Grams, GiGi on November 11, 2010 in Royal Columbian Hospital, New Westminster, BC. Margaret was born in Barrie, Ontario. She is predeceased by 3 of her sisters, Marion, Isabel and Enid. Left to mourn are her sisters Wilda and Joan, her loving son Jim (Verna), granddaughter Alisen (Martin) and great grandson Cole; her loving daughter Carole (Lou), grandchildren David, Cyndi (Julian), Kristine and great grandchildren Megan and Emma; also many nieces and nephews. In 1953 Margaret and family ventured to the west coast, residing in Princeton for a year, then moving to Kitimat in 1954, where she began working at Canada Post in 1962. She transferred in 1972 to the Tsawwassen Post Office, where she worked until her retirement in 1983. She enjoyed retirement, travelling while she was able, going to the Casino, but most of all, the times she was surrounded by her loving family. In later years her failing eyesight limited her to spending her days knitting dish rags and giving them away, listening to her talking books, and having a daily Caesar at Happy Hour. In the last few months she resided at the Assisted Living Kinsmen Centre, where she enjoyed the supportive care she received from all the staff and the residents she met. Special thanks to the staff of the Kinsmen Assisted Living, the Doctors and Nursing staff at Delta Hospital and Royal Columbian Hospital. A Memorial Service will be held at Delta Funeral Home, 5329 Ladner Trunk Road in Ladner on Monday, November 22nd, 2010 at 1:00 PM, with a private family interment at Boundary Bay Cemetery. Reception will follow at 882 - 51st Street, Tsawwassen at 3:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations to the CNIB or charity of your choice would be appreciated. We miss you Mom, Grams, Granny, GiGi, Li'l M, Auntie Marg, Jimmy and Margie. We are thankful you are not suffering anymore. The angels will be happy to hear your comic relief. You were so loved, and will be so missed.
