passsed away having enjoyed the fellowship of her daughter, son
and his wife in generous measure. Margret continued dwelling in
the same home until after the deaths of her brother and sister-in-
law. She was always willing to lend a helping hand to her nearest
and dearest, especially her nieces and nephews, whom she loved
as if they had been her own. In return they dearly loved “Aunty.“
Her sense of loyalty extended to her church. Although she had
not the time to belong to, nor work for, any of the organizations
within the church, she was singularly faithful in attending Divine
Services. As long as her mother lived the two of them attended
together. It was also their joy to attend all social functions held
in the church. This Margret continued to do as long as her heaith
permitted.
She was a member of Hekla Lodge for many years and she
entered into its work just as conscientiously as she did everything
else. She was employed by the Northern Shirt Co., retiring at the
ripe age of seventy-one years.
Once again the truth of the saying “Bread you cast upon
waters” was brought to light. When her home of so many years
was broken by death, her niece on whom she had lavished much
affection, welcomed her lovingly into her own home. For nine
vears she enjoyed the care and blessings of the Alex McDonald
home in St. Vital. In 1958 Margret entered the Betel Home at
Gimli were she resided until the day of her death April 6, 1966.
The funeral service was conducted by Rev. V. J. Eylands, D.D. in
the First Lutheran Church and she was laid to rest in Brookside
Cemetery.
Margret Stone is mourned by her many nieces and nephews,
as well as by grand nieces and nephews and by one sister, Inga
Henry of Betel Home Foundation, Gimli, Man.
Blessed be her memory.
