Margaret married John Sawatzky on June 20th 1953 in Winnipeg Manitoba. They moved to Toronto in 1955 where their daughter Jane was born. Margaret was a gifted seamstress and an excellent cook and loved to share these talents with her family.
Margaret and John were members of Bramalea Baptist Church for many years and were actively involved in many programs. They moved to Ajax in 2010 to be closer to Jane and her family and joined the Ajax Baptist Church. Family and faith have always been the centre of Margaret’s life and kept her strong and happy.
