MARGARET STARK It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Margaret Stark on December 8, 2010. Margaret was born December 7, 1923 in St Boniface MB. She grew up on the farm near Meadow Lake SK. After completing her schooling she enlisted and became a lance corporal in the Canadian Women's Army Corps for two years. After the war she married Aloys Stark and together they raised their eight children. They lived in various places throughout Saskatchewan, settling in Hudson Bay from 1955-1970. The “Bay” was a special place in her heart with many dear friends and memories. In 1970 the family relocated to Prince Albert where she resided until her passing. She enjoyed her job at the PA Daily Herald as a proof reader for a number of years. She was a lifelong member of the Royal Purple, she was recognized as a long-time volunteer with the Prince Albert North Stars junior hockey club, she volunteered with the Heart & Stroke Foundation and she was a member of the CWL. She enjoyed playing bridge, bowling, reading, music and dancing, crossword puzzles and her genealogical research. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother.
