Avis de décès de Margaret-Esther Peterson - Nécrologie - MesAieux.com

STOBBE, Margaret Esther 1946 - 2007 On the evening of November 12, 2007, Margaret's Heavenly Father called her to her eternal home. Margaret was born to Roy and Laura Peterson on August 19, 1946 in Battle River (now Manning), Alberta. Margaret's early years were happy ones, spent on a farm near Manning with her sister Julie Ann and her brother David. It was during this time that she made a personal commitment to Jesus Christ, accepting him as her Lord and Saviour. After completing her high school education, Margaret moved to Calgary where in 1966 she met her future husband and best friend, Victor. At the time, Victor was busy pursuing a professional career and so, was somewhat slow in developing his personal relationships. Margaret and Victor started dating in the summer of 1971, were engaged in October of that year, and were married on December 27, 1971. In 1973 they were blessed with the birth of a son, David Victor. A few years later, in 1977 the couple celebrated another happy occasion when a daughter, Colleen Elizabeth, was born. While in high school, both David and Colleen met their future loves. Margaret and Victor were so happy when, in the summer of 1999, Karly Gordon joined the family as David's wife. The following summer, they were thrilled to welcome Glen Hoare into the family, as Colleen's husband. It was not long for the grandchildren to arrive, Mariah, Hannah, Holly, Abbigail, and Micah. Each one was a special joy and blessing to Margaret. Margaret's life was marked by two special attributes - love and service. As an expression of Christ's love, she dedicated her life to serving the underprivileged and those in need at times of bereavement. Margaret loved to sing and spent many years as a member of the First Alliance Sanctuary Choir. Margaret is survived by her husband Victor, her son David and his wife Karly, her daughter Colleen and her husband Glen, and five precious grandchildren. She is also survived by her mother Laura Peterson; her sister Julie Ann and her family; her brother David, his wife Barbara and their family; Victor's mother Katie Stobbe; Victor's siblings and their families; together with numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her father Roy Peterson and her father-in-law William Stobbe.
