MARGARET BERGEN

MARGARET BERGEN 1931 ~ 2023 Margaret Bergen passed away peacefully at the Riverview Care Centre in Medicine Hat on Saturday, February 11, 2023, at the age of 91 years. She was surrounded by her dear family, both present and in her heart. Margaret was born in Springridge, Alberta on August 4, 1931, to David and Margareta Janzen. Along with Abram, her husband of nearly 70 years, Margaret leaves behind her children that she was so proud to raise on their homestead near Seven Persons: Ralph (Pam), Lyndon (Debbie), Robert (Dalyce), Karen (Ron), Valerie (Tom) and Richard (Diana). She was blessed with 14 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren who she loved dearly. Margaret’s passions revolved around making her house a home. She put love and pride into everything she did and her family always felt it. Some of her favourite memories included drives with Abe down country roads, spotting wildlife, staying in Fairmont, BC, as well as a treasured trip to Hawaii. It was comforting to hear that Margaret shared her stories with her caregivers at Riverview Care Home. She was blessed to have friends there and enjoyed participating in activities like baking as she was a homemaker all of her life. A Celebration of Margaret’s life will take place at Cook Southland Funeral Chapel, 901 – 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat on Friday, February 17, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. Interment will follow at the Redcliff Cemetery.
