Margot Noelle Obituary
On October 27, 2021, Mrs. Margot Noelle entered into eternal peace at the age of 87, in Calgary Alberta.
Margot is survived by her loving sister, Irmgard (Immi) Neibuhr of Luchow Germany; her loving children Mike (Sherry), Evelyn (Martin Makulowich) and Diana (Richard Krecsy); her grandchildren Ashley Krecsy (Andison Chan), Austin and Nathan Noelle, and Alexander Makulowich, all of Calgary. Margot (Margo) was pre deceased by the love of her life, her husband Paul, in 2003; her brother and sister-in-law, Hans and Maria Manthey, and brother-in-law Alfread Neibuhr.
Born in Germany, Margot immigrated to Canada with Paul in 1955 aboard the Seven Seas. They entered Canada through Montreal and then immediately took a train to Kamloops, BC where together, they permanently settled, attained their Canadian Citizenship, forged long lasting friendships and raised their family.
After Paul's passing, Margot moved to Calgary in 2004 to be with her children and grandchildren whom she cherished deeply. Across the years Margot was actively involved in her children and grandchildren's lives, attending school events and graduations, hosting sleepovers, teaching the grand kids how to play German-rummy and cribbage, all the while keeping everyone well-fed with her highly appreciated home cooking and baking.
In her latter years, Margot enjoyed reminiscing and sharing stories from her early childhood and recalling stories from her well-lived life in Kamloops. Margot was especially fond of sharing memories of moments experienced with dearly loved friends while living on Pleasant Street, located on Kamloops south-side. Margot expressed both joy and gratitude for the genuine friendships created, and years spent with kind and generous neighbors (i.e., Fam: Allan, Alexander, Bertolotti, Stewert, and Kraushar) who supported each other. Margot cherished her memories of collective sharing of harvests from fruit tress, vegetable gardens, and flower gardens; visiting each others' homes to celebrate special occasions; hosting "neighborhood happy hour" and cribbage-night; and time spent watching kids and grand kids swim in a neighbour's pool.
The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to the staff of Covenant Care, Holy Cross Manor for their care of Margot during her supportive senior's wellness years and for their compassion shown during Margot's palliative end of life care.
The family will be holding a private and family centered, celebration of life for Margot when COVID regulations permit.

and I will give you rest." Mt.11:28
