I’m truly sorry to see that Mrs Challis has passed on. When I was very young she lead the girl guide group I went to. She was the most kindest and gentle woman. She donated so much of her free time to us girls. She taught us all about respect and kindness. Truly one of a kind. Wonderful memories of a lovely lady. My sincere sympathy to her family.

Dearest Aunt Marguerite; We will miss you! Your passing will leave an empty space in many peoples lives. As I posted pictures from my parents early collection; it was wonderful to see your beautiful smile and all of the wholesome outdoor activities you were involved in. You inspired me to become a Registered Medical Lab Technologist and it has been a great career - thank you! Thank you also for a great example of living life well!
Dear Lucy, Bill, Miranda, Jim; we send our deepest sympathy .Wonderful to see that all of you took such good care of her in these final years and when we visited she spoke proudly of what you were doing. When you are missing her you can pull out all of the good memories you have built over the years . Love Janet & Lyle and family

Aunt Marguerite was a very kind and thoughtful woman who had a big heart. I always enjoyed visiting her and sharing a few laughs. She loved nature and it was evident wherever she lived. My aunt would proudly show me her indoor blossoming plants and her outdoor beautiful garden where you might see a Cardinal or a Blue Jay or other beautiful birds. I will miss having tea and a treat with her and catching up on the news or family happenings. But I rejoice in the fact that she is in her heavenly home at peace, with her husband and my Uncle, Kent and our other loved ones who have gone on before us. GOD BLESS ! †
