Margo was behind every teacher’s success and the unsung hero ensuring the success of thousands of students over years at Mackenzie. Insurmountable work was accomplished, problems were always solved with grace and the order she brought to our panic, restored the whirling staff’s sanity every day. All of this was accomplished with humour, a kind word and a twinkle of mischief in her eye.
My deepest condolences to you all; thank you for sharing your amazing mother – she was the remarkable core of all we ever achieved.

I am so saddened to her of Margo’s passing. My deepest condolences to her family and Carlos. She was such a wonderful and caring person.
In my 23 years in education, Margo was a true beacon of professionalism and kindness. When I say she ran the school, it is meant with high regard, as she had all the answers and was well-versed with all school protocol.
My father, a caretaker, worked with her at Blacksmith public school and echos my description of her. She was amazing.
God bless you my dearest Margo. You will always be in my heart. You have left a beautiful mark on this earth.
Thank you Giovanna for your kind words and highest regards for Margo you’re right she was an amazing person and will be deeply missed.

Hi Tina and Niclas thank you for your kind words regrading Margo she touched a lot and I mean a lot of people, not only in her everyday life at work but at home as well.
Our condolences go out to your family. Margo was always a joy to see at 8 am in the office at Mackenzie. So friendly and up beat, which is not always easy in a school office. She will be remembered as a kind and fantastic lady by me, and thought of fondly by all that met her.
Sending our heartfelt condolences from the William Lyon Mackenzie family. Margo was the soul of the school. She will always remain in the hearts of the Mackenzie community. She will be sadly missed but forever loved and remembered.

I’m sad to hear of Margos passing. Whenever I would run into Winnie out and about, I’d come across Margo. They were so very close!

I will miss our conversations, her sense of humour, and her selflessness. My deepest condolences, Margo was truly a bright light in our lives.
My heartfelt condolences to Margo’s family. She has left us all far too soon. I worked with Margo for 7 years. Margo was always there for me and everyone else at Mac! Her calm, graceful manner, sharp intellect, efficiency, and love of both staff and students made her the center of the Mackenzie community. I know she will be missed by all who knew her and never forgotten.
My heart goes out to Margo’s family and I wish them nothing but comfort and strength. I knew Margo for 12 years as a teacher at the school. Not only was Margo kind, witty and extremely personable, she knew everything there was to know about our jobs, had an answer for every question, kept us organized and on time, kept the school office and the school moving. She will be greatly missed.
My condolences to Margo’s family and to Carlos. Margo was a wonderful person, very kind to all.
