<div itemprop="description">MEERES-ALTON, Margaret <br />June 19, 1936 &ndash; February 23, 2015 <br /> <br />Following a long courageous battle with cancer, Margaret passed away on Monday, February 23, 2015. She maintained her humour and her wonderful smile as well as her ability to comfort and encourage people to the very end. <br /> <br />Margaret will be missed by her son, Darwin, and daughters; Sherry (Don) and Brenda (Gerry). She will be lovingly remembered by her sister, Eleanor, brother, Dick, sister-in-law, Joan, ten grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and many dear friends. She was predeceased by her children; Donald and Vicki, and her brothers; Stewart and Ralph. <br /> <br />The granddaughter of Horace Meeres, Red Deer&rsquo;s first fire chief, Margaret inspired many people over the years. Having been taught by her daughter, Vicki, Marg went on to teach Christopher Leadership Courses and served on the board of the Lumen Institute. She had also been active in the Central Alberta Pioneers and Old Timers Association. She attended the CrossRoads Church in Red Deer. Marg&rsquo;s most recent and crowning achievement was co-authoring &ldquo;Our Bible Study&rdquo; published in 2014. <br /> <br />A memorial service and celebration of life will be held at CrossRoads Church, 38105 Range Road 275, Red Deer, on Tuesday, March 3, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. followed by a reception. <br /> <br /></div>
