KNOWLES, Marguerite

June 5, 1928 - Sept 21, 2016


Passed away peacefully in hospital on September 21, 2016 at the age of 88. Marguerite loved adventure, travel, golf, her family and her husband Maurice Knowles who predeceased her by 6 months. She was raised in the Central Park area of Burnaby, the daughter of Clare and Jessie Bell and is survived by her brother Donald, sister Jean (Price) and her 4 sons, Richard, Gordon, Curtis and Ross Montgomery from her first marriage to Robert (Bob) Montgomery. Subsequent marriages to Jack Taber, Malcom McInnes and her beloved Maurice brought together the joined families which brought great joy to her life. She never shied from the spotlight until her last months, when her health deteriorated and her quality of life was poor. She will be sorely missed by all those left to remember her. A celebration of life will be held (family and friends invited), on October 16 at Sunnyside Hall in Bakerview Park 1845 - 154th St, Surrey B.C. from 3-6 PM.
