Margaret MUIRHEAD Obituary
(nee Scott)
After a long battle with cancer, Margaret passed away peacefully in Ottawa, Ontario at the age of 67. She is survived by her loving brother Douglas, sister-in-law Nicole, niece Alexia, nephew Nicolas and many very close relatives and dear friends. Her medical career spanned over forty years as both nurse and then doctor in the Arctic, across Canada and around the world before finally settling in Port Dover, ON and practising medicine at the Haldimand Family Health Clinic in Hagersville. A free spirit to the end, she will be sorely missed by her extended family, close friends and patients. Many thanks to the doctors, nurses and care staff of the Juravinski Cancer Clinic in Hamilton, the Ottawa Hospital and the Central West Hospice in Ottawa. Visitation will be held in the Miller Funeral Chapel, Caledonia, ON on Saturday, May 31, 2014, beginning at 11 a.m. followed by a Celebration of her Life in the chapel at 12 p.m. A Reception will be held afterwards in the Caledonia Legion. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation or World Vision Canada would be appreciated. Online condolences can be left at www.millerfuneralchapel.ca.

I too admired Dr. Margaret Muirhead. We worked together in Hagersville about 10 year's ago under difficult circumstances. Margaret was smart, compassionate, tough, and at times quite funny. An excellent supportive colleague who shall be missed.

Hello; I just read about Margaret's passing in the Ontario Medical review and was saddened to hear this news. I briefly worked with Margaret in Moose Factory Ontario and was drawn to her lightheartedness and sense of fun; I remember one evening when we both got tipsy sharing a bottle of wine and that's how I will remember her!

Margaret was my doctor when we both lived in Iqaluit. I will always remember her as she was involved in the birth of 2 of my children. My thoughts are with you, her family, at this time. Elizabeth Sitland

Thinking of you Doug, Nicole, Alexia, and Nicolas and sending our sincere sympathy. Margie was an amazing person and I enjoyed my conversations and getting to know her more and more after every family reunion in Scotsburn and Calgary. There will be a huge void at our next gathering . You are in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. Love to all, Art & Sharon
