Margaret J. Greenwood

February 05, 1931 - October 27, 2025

Survivor of the London Blitz, Secretary to Vogue and BOAC in the post-war period. After marrying Frank, they lived together in Alexandria, Windsor and then Düsseldorf. Drawn to adventure by Beautiful BC Magazine, together with three young boys they picked up sticks for a new life in Powell River. She determined at once that this was indeed home and set about establishing roots with no looking back or reservation. An expert seamstress, she once made kilts for an entire pipe band. She was a wonderful homemaker, proud wife and loving mother of three naval officers. A keen gardener, traveler, camper, photographer, domestic economist and family archivist. A tireless, and prolific letter-writer. Above all, an enduring example of image of love, style, grace and strength.
Lovingly remembered by sons Nigel (Deborah), Richard (Monika) and Kevin (Kim), and her expanding family of 7 grandchildren (and spouses) and 3 great-grandchildren.
Forever in our memories as she was in her best days.
Many thanks to staff at Birch Cottage of VIHA's Priory for their loving care of Mum over the last couple years.
A celebration of life will take place at the HMCS Venture Gunroom, Victoria View Road, from 1300 to 1500 on January 2nd, 2026
