STONEHOUSE, Margaret Janet - September 14, 1928 – January 19, 2022
Margaret passed away at Matthews House Hospice in Alliston after a life filled with the joys of family, friends and community service in Weston.
Devoted to her late husband, Howard E. Stonehouse, Margaret was the proud mother of Jim (Janet, mother of Cameron and Andrew) and Mary (David) Fournier, the grandmother of Cameron (Danielle), Andrew, Adam (Martha) and Beth, and great-grandmother of Eric "Mr. Buck".
Margaret loved her family more than words can convey, and remained keenly interested in their exploits and achievements to the end of her days.
Her household was her pride and joy, immaculate and inviting. Great coffee was her defining beverage, and she succumbed to the charms of a stronger libation, gin and tonic, only later in her life (and then, only abstemiously).
