Margaret Gordon Hufty

Margaret Gordon Hufty (nee Nicol)
Margaret was born in Aberdeen, Scotland. After her father's death,
when she was only 7, she was raised by her mother Elizabeth Nicol. She
completed her schooling in Aberdeen and received a teaching certificate
from Aberdeen Teacher's College. She taught in Aberdeen for 5 years.
In 1965, Margaret and two friends embarked on the adventure of a
lifetime, making their way to Canada for teaching positions in Prince
George, BC. What was to be a three year adventure changed when she
met and fell in love with Harry Hufty. They were married in 1966 in
Vernon, BC. They had two children, Susan and Kirsten, and settled into
family life in Prince George.
Margaret was a very proud grandmother to Kirsten's children, Olivia and
Charlie, and was very involved in their young lives. They formed a very
special bond with their beloved grandmother and her loss is deeply felt.
Margaret was a loving wife and mother who took great care of her
family and home. Always putting others first, she was the most unselfish,
thoughtful and considerate person imaginable. She had a wonderful sense
of humor with an infectious giggle and we all shared many great laughs
together. She was an excellent cook, hosted many dinner parties, had a
great eye for art and décor and enjoyed water colour painting. In later
years she was an avid Sudoku solver and a voracious reader. Margaret and
Harry enjoyed their daily scrabble games with an afternoon cup of tea.
She took such good care of us all and we are deeply saddened by her sudden
passing. She was the most selfless and giving person in the world. She was
the heart and soul of our family and we are adrift without her. She leaves
behind her husband of 58 years Harry Hufty, her daughters Susan and
Kirsten (Mark Dunsford), and her beloved grandchildren Olivia and Charlie.
A memorial will be held on Saturday, July 6, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. at the
First Memorial Lakewood Chapel, 1055 Ospika Boulevard South.
