Mrs. Margaret Paterson Carlson

Born November 30, 1929, in Eyemouth, Great Britain (Scotland) to William and Agnes Dickson, Margaret was 1 of 2 children.

She was predeceased by her husband Gerald, parents William and Agnes, sister in law Jean, Brother in law Doug, Daughter in law Debbie and Grandson Brian Dean.

Margaret left her home in Great Britain (Scotland) and travelled to Canada in 1969 to be united in marriage to the love of her life, Gerald. They resided in Kenora for their entire married life of 46 years, but travelled back to Margaret's homeland every couple of years, while they were able.

She was employed at the Lake of the Woods District Hospital from April 1971, working for 18 years, and taking retirement in September of 1989. She was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church and spent many enjoyable hours singing in the Church choir and participating in the church bazaars and bake sales. Margaret and Gerald always enjoyed and talked about the Sunday morning breakfasts, at Yesterday's Restaurant, with friends after Sunday Church service. "Good Food' Good Friends, Good Conversation"

Margaret will be greatly missed by her Stepsons Brian (Anna), Bradley (Linda) and Gerald, Brother Jim, Sister in law Helen, many grand and great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, Sister in law Edie and special extended family Betty and Merle Nyberg.

The family would like to extend many thanks to the staff, management and medical staff at Birchwood Terrace for their care and compassion during this time.
