CALLAGHAN, Margaret
February 7, 1947 - March 05, 2022
It is with great sadness that the family of Margaret Callaghan announces her passing on Saturday March 5, 2022, at the age of 75.
Margaret was predeceased by her parents, Arthur and Molly Zaitsoff of Kamsack, SK.
She is lovingly remembered by her two children, son, Terrance Callaghan (Kristen) and daughter, Wanita Nixon (Lorne); plus granddaughters, Sidney and Ronna Callaghan and Bailey Nixon. Margaret is also survived by her good friend, Gabriel; and three sisters, Ellen (Dave), Leona (Jeff) and Luba Hoeft; plus many nieces and nephews.
As the oldest of her siblings, Margaret had a kind, caring and compassionate heart demonstrated by taking care of her siblings in her younger years, then spending 25+ years working as a special care aide with the elderly at the Kamsack District Nursing Home.
After retirement, she moved to the Age Care Seton facility in Calgary to be closer to her daughter and family. Even though Margaret was a resident, she loved to help the staff take care of the other people on her floor (where she earned the nickname Supervisor). She was not only loved by the staff but the residents as well. Margaret wanted to help others after she was gone and decided to donate her body to science at the University of Calgary (Cumming School of Medicine).
She will be deeply missed.
