February 19, 1922 ~ February 28, 2011
Peacefully on Monday, February 28, 2011, Margaret Rachuk passed away at the Beausejour Health Centre at the age of 89 years.
Margaret was predeceased by her beloved husband Joe, her parents Catherine and James Dennett, her in-laws Martha and Fred Rachuk, brothers in-law Paul Smorhay, Steve, Stanley, Tony and Paul Rachuk, sisters in-law Anne Smorhay, Mary, Doris, Eleanor and Jean Rachuk.
She leaves to cherish her memory her devoted daughter Julie, brother in-law Mike Rachuk, numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Margaret was born on February 19, 1922 and grew up in Grand Marais, MB. She married Joe on May 21, 1951 and over the next 31 years, until Joe’s death in 1982, the two of them worked as a team on the family farm in Stead, MB. Margaret was a loving, caring person who was instrumental in the formation of the “Stead Community Center” and for many years volunteered whenever she could. She also had a special place in her heart for little animals whom she formed a bond with immediately.
