Margaret Emma Krywolt of Lethbridge AB passed away at the Chinook Regional Hospital on October 29, 2009 at the age of 90 years, predeceased by her ever, greatly loved husband Edward Michael Krywolt.
Left to cherish her love and memories are her children Wayne (Hazel) of Lethbridge, Arlene (Lee) Kubica of Whitehorse YT and Ward (Sheryn) of Calgary, grandchildren Russell (Michelle) Krywolt of Burnaby BC, Greg Kubica of Whitehorse and Paula Kubica of Burnaby respectively, and great grand children Duncan and Cecilia Krywolt of Burnaby. Numerous nieces, nephews and their extended families will remember her fondly and know each had a special place in her heart.
Besides husband Eddie who passed away October 27, 1976 in Coleman Alberta, she was predeceased by her parents William (1972) and Louisa (1967) Hoggan in Coleman Alberta, her brother George Hoggan (1980) in Prince George BC and her sister & brother-in-law Edna and Norman Schnepf (1990) in Abbotsford BC.
Margaret was born at her parents’ home October 10, 1919 and lived in Coleman for the next 87 years. She married her everlasting love Eddie on July 28, 1939. In 1945, they relocated to a new house, which was home for some 60 years. For the next 30 years, she was a full time wife and mother. Life style improvements, though slow and hard won were celebrated and enjoyed and from a child’s point of view were irrelevant because Mom was always there whenever you needed her, or just wanted butterhorns. Margaret thrived on family activities which included frequent gatherings, picnics and annual holidays. Helping with bake sales, rummage sales, whist drives along with like social activities seemed to fill her spare time calendar.
Margaret liked people and formed strong, supportive and long lasting friendships. That her friendships were two way was very evident when she received extensive support and companionship to help deal with the traumatic loss of Eddie, at the young age of 60, from her co-workers at the Post Office, her close neighbors, her card partners, her Elder Hostel traveling companions, her Coleman Seniors Association committee volunteers and her extended family.
Her decision in 2006 to move to Martha’s House in Lethbridge quickly became a pleasurable opportunity for renewing acquaintances and making new friends. Unfortunately her newest relationships were shortened by her unexpected passing.
Margaret was considered a special lady who treasured family, old friends and new friends so easily made, which no doubt accounted for her meticulous ability to remember who made the dessert for 1984 Christmas dinner.
