Marge will be remembered and loved by her dear lifelong friends, Jeannette Hamm (cousin), Lovina Ayles and Lita St. Pierre.

Marge was a stay-at-home mother who loved to bake home made sweets and treats for her family and often the neighbours would stop in to visit to enjoy her baking. She passed her love of baking on to her children. She loved to crochet, was an avid reader, and loved music.

Marge had a part time job at Corporate Research Associates doing market research after her children had gone to high school. She made many friends there, and everyone loved her.

Margaret was predeceased by her Husband, Guy Joseph Thibodeau, one brother: Edward LeBlanc, her best friend, Diane Thibodeau.

Forever in hearts, she will be dearly missed by her loved ones.

A special thank you to mom's caregiver Kelly Phinney for taking such good care of her over the years.
