BACQUIE, Joan Marguerite Crawford 'Maggie' - (March 8, 1944 - April 29, 2021) -
Joan Marguerite Crawford, affectionately called Maggie, was born in Jamaica on March 8, 1944 to parents Guy and Geraldine Crawford. She was the baby, with 3 older siblings – Norma (deceased), Horace (deceased) and Tyrone.
Maggie was born with a fighting spirit, ready to take on anyone who messed with her or with someone she loved. She was well known to be feisty and fresh, and famous for speaking her mind! It’s no wonder that she hated school because, one can only imagine, that the Nuns would not have appreciated her mouthiness!
However, once she got into the workforce, she was unstoppable, working hard and excelling at all her jobs from the Telephone Company and Alcan in Jamaica to BP, Petro Canada and TD in Canada. Her work ethic was admirable and earned her the respect of all her colleagues.
