Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryMARGARET MCLACHLAN GRAFF (nee HUNTER) On Saturday, September 28, 2013, the Lord whispered "Come unto Me...I will give you rest". In that glorious moment, beloved Wife and cherished Mother, Margaret McLachlan Graff, walked wholly restored through the gates of Heaven to her eternal Home! Until that day when they shall be reunited again, sadness overwhelms Margaret's devoted and loving husband of 65 years, Jack Graff of Teulon, Manitoba. Mother loved each of her children equally and unconditionally. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her sons, Jack, Doug (Anne-Marie); grandson J.D., three daughters, Janice, Dawn, Colleen (Burk); and honorary "adopted" daughter Karen Hewitt, who loved her "Maggie" oh so very much. She is also survived by brother David (Ruby; sister Jean (Steve); beloved sister-in-law Hilda; as well as numerous nieces and nephews throughout Canada and the U.S. Margaret was predeceased by her mother Jean, father William and brother William Hunter. Mom was born August 2, 1926 in Scotland and moved to Canada in 1927. She was employed at Eaton's Mail Order and for many years later as Cook at the Odeon Drive-in Theatre. She was a rare and special jewel who saw only the good in others. She loved her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, teaching her children at a very young age to believe and trust in Him above all else. Mother loved to sing the Old Gospel Songs and faithfully tuned in to hear John Aune and the CFRY Sunday Request Show. Thank you John for all the warm wonderful smiles you placed in her heart over the years! On Thursday, October 3, 2013, Margaret's Funeral Service will be held at 10:30 a.m. in the Chapel of Memories in Wojcik's Funeral Chapel, 1020 Main Street @ Manitoba Avenue. Interment will follow in Chapel Lawn Cemetery, 4000 Portage Avenue. For those who wish, viewing will be held prior to the Service. The family wish to extend heartfelt gratitude to some very special Staff at Goodwin Lodge, Teulon, Manitoba. LPN's Debbie, Kelly, Leanne, Tracy and Joyce; Healthcare Aides: Michelle, Shaunna, Vicki, Brenda, Loni, Karin, Cheryl, Susan, and Activities Coordinator Sophia. The comfort and many moments of laughter you each shared with her brought more joy than you could truly know. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Margaret's nephew, Richard Wojcik of Wojcik's Funeral Chapel & Crematorium, 1020 Main Street, Winnipeg, 204 - 586 - 8668, wojciksfuneralchapel.com, in care of her arrangements.
