MARGARET MEIDINGER

MRS. MARGARET CAROLINE MEIDINGER (nee Cowan), died peacefully, Tuesday, March 25th, at the Calgary Foothills Medical Centre after a brief and sudden illness. She was born October 28, 1922, in Hanna, Alberta, to parents, Harry and Lena, and resided on the family ranch in the Handhills until 1941. Her sense of adventure led her to seek varied employment in Calgary, Toronto and Cranbrook. An avid sports fan and golfer, it was there at the Cranbrook Golf Course that she met her future husband Edwin when he was on holidays. They soon married and resided in Lethbridge where Ed had his business. For many years they were active members of the Lethbridge Golf and Country Club. One of her prized memorabilia was a gold putter she received for getting a hole-in-one there. Although she gave up her golf a few years ago, Margaret remained an active lady. She was a member of the Lethbridge Seniors’ Centre walking group and attended aquacize and yoga classes. Margaret is survived by Robin (George) Whealton of Vero Beach, Florida, Rick (Marilyn) Meidinger of Kamloops, BC, Joanne (Ken) Wells of Brooks, AB, and Carol Thomas (Perry Rebitt) of Calgary, AB. She is also survived by her grandchildren, whom she adored, Debbie, Sandra, Laura, Ashleigh, Rachael and Sydney. Margaret was predeceased by her husband Ed, her parents and three brothers Foster, Burton and George. The family would like to thank the Emergency Response Team and the Staff at the Brooks Medical Centre, STARS Air Ambulance and the CICU unit at the Foothills Medical Centre for their care and attention during her stay.
