With great sadness, our family announces our mother’s passing, Marguerite Howard, Margie, Marg, Mum, late of New Westminster, formerly of Vancouver at Royal Columbian Hospital in her 84th year.  She is predeceased by her husband, H. Stephen Howard in 1973, and is lovingly remembered by her children Stephanie (Fred) and Craig.

Margie was the eldest child born to Vera and Sam Cosco of Vancouver. She is predeceased by her two sisters Yvonne and Diane, and she is missed by her sister Carol and brother Sammy (Martha) and numerous nieces, nephews, grand-nieces, and friends.

Margie loved sports, dancing, art, music, and animals especially her ‘grand-puppies’. She had a passion for reading, cooking and baking, nature and the great outdoors, and could always be found tending to her garden.  She was never short on opinions, especially when it came to her beloved Vancouver Canucks and Whitecaps.

The family wants to extend our deepest gratitude to the Fraser Health’s Home Support Services, the paramedics, and Royal Columbian Hospital staff who provided our mother with exceptional and compassionate care.

In memory of Marguerite, please consider making a donation to the Stephen Howard Memorial Scholarship which will support first year students in the Master of Physical Therapy Program. Marguerite established this fund in memory of her beloved husband.

The loss is immeasurable,

But so is the love left behind.
