Margaret Smith (died 28 December 2009, aged 89) was a Schreiber-born registered nursing assistant who worked at Nipigon General Hospital and Birchwood Terrace Home For The Aged.[1][2]
Life and family
Margaret Smith, known as Peggy, was born in Schreiber in 1920. During the depression, her family relocated to a farm in Dorion. She later returned to Schreiber for a period before moving to Fort William during World War II. In Fort William, she contributed to the war effort by manufacturing aircraft at Canada Car. Following the war, she returned to Schreiber once more.[1]
In the late 1950s, she moved back to Fort William with her sister to train as a Registered Nursing Assistant at McKellar Hospital. After completing her studies, she was employed at Nipigon General Hospital. In 1972, she joined the staff at Birchwood Terrace Home For The Aged in Terrace Bay, where she remained until her retirement in 1985. She was an avid traveler who valued time with her relatives.[1]
She was predeceased by her parents, Albert and Maggie, her sisters Camela and Delores "Dodi" Kirkpatrick, and her brothers-in-law Bill Kirkpatrick and Don Stewart. She was survived by her sister Nellie Stewart, nine nieces and nephews, and her niece and close friend Wendy Kirkpatrick.[1]
She died at her home on December 28, 2009. Cremation took place, with arrangements handled by Harbourview Funeral Centre. A funeral service was planned for a later date in Terrace Bay. Memorial donations were suggested for Grandview Lodge.[1]
