Condolence: My deepest condolences. I got to know Marg through Romwalks. She was always fun and energetic. She always had a smile and kind words. She was always challenging herself and encouraging others. I will miss her deeply.

Condolence: My deepest condolences. I have got to known Marg through the ROMWalks training three years ago. Since then we have spent a lot of time practicing the walks together and I was privileged to become her friend. She was so wonderful and will be missed by many people. I will miss her warm hugs, big smile, youthful independent spirit, humor, kindness and joy of life. Marg, I will miss our coffee chats, walks and your lovely emails filled with funny stories that always finished with the phrase "Don't answer". I won't this time, but I will always keep the memories of you in my heart.

Condolence: My deepest condolences. I was shocked to hear of Marg's passing. I met Marg 3 years ago as a volunteer trainee with ROM Walks. She was a great help as we practiced together. Her smile, good nature, sense of humor and concern for others were just some of the traits I admired. I am glad to have known her and am very saddened to hear of her passing.

Condolence: During the past three years, I got to know Margaret at the ROM, not well but in ways I'll remember. She was outgoing, friendly, funny, smart and committed to her volunteer activities. Her sharp sense of humour went over the head of many but was always right on target. I'm glad to have known her and saddened that I won't have more opportunities to enjoy her company.

Condolence: I had the great good luck to be one of Marg's trainers in this Fall's Docent Training. Marg was a gem. She had a gift for finding connections among dispartate artifacts that would elude an expert. She told a great story. And she had a sly wit. She yearned to be a docent. And she would have made a magnificent one. I feel privileged to know her during such a purposeful and happy time. I'm heartsick at her passing.

Condolence: I was shocked to hear of Marg's sudden death over the holidays. I had the privilege of working with her at the ROM in training her to be a ROMWalker in 2014 and again as a docent in 2016. We shared many Toronto walks together. Her ability to entertain guests despite Toronto street noise with her stories and wry sense of humour was inspirational. Her love for the ROM would have made her an exceptional docent. My best wishes to the family at this sad time- we have all lost a wonderful person. Doug

Condolence: I'll miss you, Auntie Peggy. Your independent spirit was inspiring and your larger than life smile lit up the room! I can remember many fond times visiting you at your Beaches home, and you were always so welcoming. You were a wonderful aunt, mom and you took such loving care of Nana B - everyone always was so appreciative of that. God Bless you. xoxox Deborah
