At Maitland Manor, Goderich on Wednesday September 28, 2022. Marg Cook formerly of Guelph in her 95th year. Beloved wife of the late Frank Cook (1980). Loving mother of Cathy (Jim) Cooper of Kincardine, Karen (Dave) Waterfield of Goderich. Dear Grama of Michelle (Jon) Fry, Matthew (Michelle) Cooper, Amanda (Ken) Beaubien, Kyle (Shannon) Bartley and Great Grama of Averie and Jadyn Beaubien and Brooklyn Bartley. Also survived by her sister Wilma (Doug) Schwint and brother-in-law George (Pat) Cook and many nieces and nephews.
Marg will be fondly remembered by many former students at John F. Ross Collegiate in Guelph for her warm caring attention in the cafeteria. In her retirement she spread her joy through her extensive travels and enjoyed her time curling and golf. She was adored by her grandchildren and great grandchildren for her easy going and loving nature and her generosity is a legacy she leaves that is carried on by her family.
At Margaret’s request there is no funeral home visitation or service. Cremation has taken place. Interment of cremated remains will be held at a private family service Woodlawn Cemetery, Guelph. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Alzheimer’s Society gratefully acknowledged. The family wish to thank the staff at Maitland Manor, Goderich for their superb care and compassion for Marg.

Dear Margs family ,
So sorry to hear about your loss .
My mother Elizabeth (Liz )worked with your mother at Ross .
And let me tell you Mavis , Shirley , Joyce , your mom and my mother and the other ladies had many laughs . Your mother was a hoot , and full of life and vigour . Always glamorous!
She knew all our names and always asked after us .
My mom went to work there after losing her husband and all the women helped my mother by their kind and caring attitudes. She didn’t quilt but they took her along anyways !
I loved stopping in to pick up my mom from work , and your mom always put something in my hand to eat that she was packing up .
I am saying a special prayer for her and for the lovely memories and the smile she put on my face .
Sincerely Helen
Andy and Linda Lovasi

I didn’t know Margaret, but we lost a member of our curling community. She will deliver a shot to the button without sweeping to win the game!

Dear Cathy and Karen and Families,
It is with sadness that I read about the passing of your Mother, Marg Cook. She was a wonderful, joyful, generous and spirited woman. Marg was always looking at life as being more than half full!
I have many wonderful memories of living in her basement apartment on Gladstone Ave for several years while I attended the U of Guelph and later worked at the Guelph General Hospital. She welcomed me into her life, while respecting my autonomy and fear of dogs (I was not Christie’s favourite person).
When I became engaged to my husband, Ed, while living in Bermuda, Marg came to visit us and to ‘check out’ this man I was to marry. It was a wonderful week, touring the Island and meeting many people. I recall Marg meeting some young Canadians at a local pub on Canada Day and sharing a toast to Canada. She was brave enough to ride on the back of my scooter as we traveled around Bermuda. Fun fact: Ed and I chose our honeymoon hotel after Marg and I had a wonderful meal in its restaurant overlooking the ocean.
I am forever thankful to Marg for allowing me to grow-up and move on with my life. She will always have a special place in my heart. Please know that your Mother was loved.
With loving condolences,
Diane Nowak-Cleare
