VELDHUIS, Margaret
1944 - 2022
After a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s disease, Rachel Margaret Veldhuis, known as Margaret, died on March 29th, 2022 at the Northview Nursing Home in Englehart, Ontario. She was born in Hilliard Township on February 17th, 1944 to Ralph and Maude Carleton, and she married John Jacob Veldhuis on May 22, 1965. Margaret took immense joy in tending to her farm and garden and taking care of her cats and dogs. As an active member of her community, she volunteered at the Hudson Outreach Library and the Temiskaming Hospital Gift Shop, and she loved to write satirical songs that she performed with the Grumbling Grannies. Margaret was also an accomplished quilter, and her quilts are still enjoyed by her family. Margaret is survived by her sons, Lincoln (Lori) and Jared, her sisters Barbara, Ruth and Betty and her brother John. She was predeceased by her older brother, Edward. Margaret was a proud adoring grandma to her grandson, Sam.
