DAVIS _ Margaret Our dearest Margaret passed away on September 20, 2003 after a courageous and dignified fight to stay with her adoring family. Margaret was loved, respected and admired by all who were fortunate to know this lovely lady. Margaret and Art had sixty-one years together and were blessed with four wonderful children who all adored their Mother; Diane Hutton (David) of Qualicum Beach, B.C., Brian Davis (Lya) of Chile, Gail Davis of Sidney, B.C., and Dorothy Woolstencroft (Mark) of Calgary, Alberta. She also had seven grandchildren, Dermott Hutton, Meghann Hutton, Lewis Davis-Wilkes, Arthur Davis-Wilkes, Frank Woolstencroft, Lauren Woolstencroft and Gillian Woolstencroft. Margie was an anchor and a beloved example to her family and to her many friends. As a wife, mother and most endeared companion, Margaret by her class, showed us the way. She attended St. Hilda's Girls' School that has now become Strathcona Tweedsmuir School and through its wonderful education produced what Calgarian's proudly called St. Hilda's girls. Margaret was born in Calgary on October 26, 1919 in her parents' home that is still standing and admired as a heritage home. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank R. Webster, were prominent Calgarians. Margaret and Art were married October 23, 1942, and lived a short while in Vernon, B.C., where Diane was born, then moved to Pincher Creek, Alberta, and then to Calgary in 1945 to become a respected part of Calgary. Margaret was a member of Christ Church, the Calgary Golf and Country Club, and a member of long standing of the Children's Hospital Aid Society. She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her. The Davis family would like to thank Dr. Matt Van Olm and the nurses and staff of Unit 61 at the Rockyview Hospital for the wonderful and committed care they gave Margaret. A Celebration of Margaret's life will be held at Christ Church (3602 - 8 Street S.W.) on Wednesday, September 24, 2003 at 2:00 p.m. A Reception will follow at the Calgary Golf and Country Club. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made to the Children's Hospital Aid Society, P.O. Box 900, Calgary, Alberta T2T 2M7 or the War Amputations of Canada, 2827 Riverside Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1V 0C4. HERITAGE FAMILY FUNERAL SERVICES "Heritage Funeral Home".
