March 22, 1928 – January 5, 2012
Born in Victoria to Robert and Marion Thomson, raised in Brentwood Bay by Uncle Emil and Aunty Daisy Sarup. Margaret often spoke fondly of her youth growing up on the beaches and in the wilds of beautiful Brentwood Bay. She was predeceased by her loving husband Andrew (1994) and beloved sons Russell (1960) and Robert (1988). Left to carry on her memory are daughters Linda (Jeffrey), Karen (Philip), daughter in law Marion (Bob). grandchildren Mark (Jennifer), Cedar (Shela), Angus (Skye), Brandon, Stephanie(Dylan), and great-grandchildren Claire, Josh, Hailey, Azlyn, Amelia and Holden. Margaret and Andy raised their family in Saanichton where they shared good times with friends volunteering and building their new community. Mom moved from Sidney to be near her family in Sooke where she enjoyed the company of the growing generations. Special thanks to Mom’s good friend Doris Milburn, treasured friends from Beacon Home Support, friendly members of the Sooke community and all who cared for her. Mom had a generous and caring spirit and will be greatly missed.
She will be laid to rest in Shady Creek Cemetery, joining her husband and sons. A family tea will follow. Mom’s favorite charity was the Salvation Army. Condolences may be offered to the family below.

To Linda and family,
Sorry to hear about the lost of your Mom, I lost mine when I was very young, but I do believe that no matter how old you are, the loss of a mother requires lots of love from family and friends. So I send you all my love and sweet thoughts. May your grandchildren bring you lots of love and comfort. xxx Claire et famille.
