Our very special wife, mother, grandmother, and friend Margaret Kent died on August 3, 2017 after a courageous three-year battle with Colon cancer. Margaret (Marg) leaves to mourn, Bernie, her husband and soul-mate of 56 years; children David (Becky), Christine Demecha (Mark), Kevin (Joanna) together with grandchildren Jeffrey (Kathleen), Nicole (fiancé Jeff), Jacob and Erin Demecha; and her many, many friends. Marg was predeceased by her parents Tom and Nancy Lott, brother John and infant daughter Janice.

Marg was destined to be an educator. Her first teaching position was a split grade one/two class with 44 students. Marg never taught a class with less than 39 kids. After moving to Kamloops Marg was active in raising her family, participating with Girl Guides, New Century Singers, YWCA Board and Women’s Shelter, Bonding the Senses program to help people with learning difficulties, and Teacher-on-Call. For 20 years Marg monitored a route of bluebird boxes in Rose Hill for the Kamloops Naturalist Club. Marg enjoyed playing cards, traveling, and watching her family’s many activities. Through her church Marg took part in ten mission trips to Guatemala, six as co-leader with Bernie. Together with Bernie, Marg also led a Home Group for over 20 years. Marg enjoyed life and enriched the life of everyone she met. She had a wonderful smile that could light up the room

The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to close friend Sandy Baird, and Dr. Nguyen and the entire Oncology team at RIH for their outstanding care, compassion and support.

A Celebration of Marg’s life will be held at Kamloops Alliance Church, 1:00 o’clock on Saturday, August 12, 2017. Alternative Funeral and Cremation Services in charge of arrangements.

Memorial gifts may be made in Marg’s name to the BC Cancer Society, or to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home.
