It has been my pleasure to get to know and spend time with Margaret. What a wonderful woman, always a twinkle in her eye, a great sense of humour, a heart full of love. She will be missed, and fondly remembered. My sincere sympathy to the family for your loss.

Marg Houlihan was introduced to me in 1982 by Pat and Nicola. I stayed with Marg often over the years and each day was a joy. Marg's life added many good memories for me. I am thankful I knew her and sorry for the families loss. Sincerely, Sheila Airey

My condolences to all the Houlihan family on the loss of a wonderfully devoted mother, grandmother and great grandmother. My memories of Marg go back to the fifties and sixties when Marg and Bob became important lifelong friends of my parents. Their times together we're filled with much joy, laughter and fun. You will be missed Marg but your spirit and zest for life will always be remembered by the McAvoy and O'Meara families.

Marg was a dear friend and neighbour to my mum, Chris Poulton. She had such a beautiful smile and soft eyes.
I love how they, along with Elaine Ward, found each other to learn how to paint together, but would drink tea, talk, play cards and support each other late into the night - true friends through many of life's challenges.
Rest in peace, Marg, and know that you were loved and will be missed.

Dear Margie
Your Mom's friends from the Carleton Heights Ladies Bowling League were saddened to hear of Marg's passing. She was such a big part of that league for many years.
