MARGARET (PEGGY) ALGEO On January 1, 2012, Margaret Algeo surrounded by family, died at the Foot Hills Hospital in Calgary, at the age of 82. Margaret was born in Winnipeg on August 31, 1929. She was predeceased by her husband, Terry, two sisters (Pearl, Ruby), three brothers (Tim, George, and Cliff) and her parents (Margaret and Stony Stone). Margaret married Terry in 1948 and together they raised four children in their home in Winnipeg. She participated in all of her husband's endeavours, particularly in sport aviation. As a member of John Black Memorial United Church, she worked on social events and fundraising endeavours with a special group of friends. Her interests were many: collecting genealogical information, refinishing furniture, writing a book An Airplane in My Living Room and helping catalogue archives at the Western Canada Aviation Museum. She obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Winnipeg at the age of 75. She also enjoyed her time at Lions Place in Winnipeg and the activities there. She moved to Calgary five years ago and was active discovering a new city and meeting new friends. Margaret is survived by her children: Jessie Algeo, Peggy (Don) Chudzy, Chris (Cheryl) Algeo, and Bill (Wendy Tod) Algeo. Her great joy in life were her precious grandchildren, Riki (Erik) Harding, Jamie Sulek, Maggie (Ryan) Crowley, Holly Chudzy, Tyler (Clare Donaldson) Algeo, Carley Algeo, Patrick Algeo, Jesse Algeo, Teagan Algeo and her great-granddaughter Olivia Harding. Also left to mourn her passing are her sister Dorothy (Ron) Pound, and many dear nephews, nieces, cousins and friends. A celebration of life will be held in Winnipeg on Saturday, February 18 at Young United Church at 222 Furby St., at 1:00 p.m.

Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

  • There were six of the original group of friends who shared so much throughout our lives together at the Memorial Service for Marg (We knew her as Marg rather than Peggy.) Marg was very dear to us. We all thought the world of her and missed her so when she moved to Calgary. I did want to share a rather unique experience that we had at one of our "Club" meetings in your old home in North Kildonan. We visited together with your Dad's partly finished "aeroplane in the living room". "An experience never to be forgotten". Also, Marg and I had many wonderful visits together in Calgary and on trips up to places such as the old Stefan Stefansson home an property further north. My heart aches for all of you in this time of your loss. May you be enriched by all the many wonderful memories of your times together! I am most certainly enriched for knowing your Mom! As they say in Icelandic: Bless! Bless! - Posted by: Evelyn Downey (friend since high school at Gordon Bell) on: Feb 19, 2012
