Big Vacancy

A big vacancy in community

Owen Sound Sun Times, Dec. 26/97.

Letter to the Editor: 

The passing of Margaret Ellen (Dixon) Quinton leaves a large vacancy in this community. Few others have contributed so much time and effort for the benefit of their fellow citizens. She was an extraordinary wife and mother, a dedicated church worker, a long time Women's Institute member, the first woman councillor in Holland Township, community centre and board member, a faithful senior citizen and organizer, member of District Council for Boy Scouts of Canada and a Cub leader, a local historian and member of Historical Society, and an active member of local citizen ratepayer groups.

These are but part of Margaret's contribution to the community and society; all this in addition to a life time dedication to her family.

She diligently pursued her many interests successfully.

Her passing leaves us a legacy of memories that can not replace her, but can not be taken away from us.

We thank God for the privilege of knowing her and being her friend. May she receive her just and deserved rewards. We share her family's sorrow at this time.

The Community of Walter's Falls
