POTTER, Margaret It is with joy that we celebrate the life of Margaret Potter (Arnold) who died on November 25, 2010 at the age of 92 years. Margaret was born in 1918 in Toronto and spent her formative years in Hamilton. Margaret was an accomplished swimmer and diver and a British Empire Games Gold Medalist. She married Arthur Arnold in 1937 and raised four beautiful children: Dennis (Dint), Ken, Leslie and Cliff as well as special son Leon. She lived in Edmonton most of her life. She was predeceased by parents Ed and Mable Vine, her husband Arthur Arnold, sons Cliff and Dint and her second husband George Potter. Margaret is survived by her son Ken (Lynda), daughter Leslie, Leon (Pat), four grandchildren Katherine (Nevin), Grant (Tania), Barbra (Marc) and Jennifer (Brent). Margaret enjoyed her great-grandchildren Michael, Isobel, David, Felix, Finnuala, Ben, Adam, Emily and Erin. Margaret will always be remembered for her charm and ever- ready smile. It is with gratitude that we thank the staff of Cedars Villa for their love and attention.

Dear Leslie Ken and family, What can I say on the passing of Aunt Marg than she was one of the kindest and sweetest people I've ever known. A dear and special friend to my Mom and our family, she will be truly missed. My sincere thoughts are with you during this time of remembrance.

Les and family - Sid and I send our love and condolences at this sad time. Marg was mom's dearest friend - she was classy, interesting and loyal, and the two of them never had a shortage of topics to discuss or laughs to share. Marg will be missed but I know you must be comforted that she lived so well and so fully. Our thoughts are with you.
