Margaret leaves to mourn her sons Randy (Heather) and Howard; grandsons Alexander and Cameron to cherish her memory. Also to mourn is her twin sister Elizabeth (Michael), sister Theresa as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Margaret was predeceased by her husband Adolf, mother Theresa, father Friedrich and brothers and sisters Joe Konzelman, Connie Lundgren, Fritz Konzelman, Luise Peitsch and Irma Bommersbach. Margaret was born in Unterwalden, Poland on March 11, 1928. In 1948 she immigrated to Canada with her parents and sisters Elizabeth, Theresa and Luise. Along with her sisters, Margaret worked hard in the sewing industry to buy a home and support her parents. On October 24, 1952 she married the love of her life, Adolf, and together raised two sons. After they had grown up, Margaret renewed working in the garment industry, soon rising to the position of factory supervisor. She enjoyed involvement in community activities. She baked and sold tortes for the German Pavilion at Folklorama. She had a strong association with the Lutheran Church and was a founding member of Abundant Life Lutheran Church. The church was an important part of her life. Margaret was a very compassionate person. She was always there when a need arose with a smile and a casserole. Margaret was the cornerstone of her family. She provided constant strength, support and counselling to family members. She cared deeply for her grandchildren; Alexander and Cameron, and treasured every moment she spent with them. The family wishes to thank the doctors and nurses of the Concordia Hospital for their care and support in her final days. A private interment will take place on Tuesday morning, April 19. A memorial service will take place at Abundant Life Lutheran Church 3486 Raleigh Street, Tuesday, April 19 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers the family asks that a donation be made to Abundant Life Lutheran Church, or a charity of your choice.
