I enjoyed getting to know Margaret and running with her for many years before we moved. She was always a ray of sunshine - she will live on in our memories for how special she made each and every one of us feel. Our condolences to her family ❤️ ~ Cindy Romanowski


Margaret’s parents and my parents emigrated from Holland together in 1952. I have many happy memories of times spent at Christmas, New year and other family gatherings with the Jansens. Margaret was a kind and gentle person. I was especially touched at the few moments we were able to talk at my father’s celebration of life seven years ago. Thank you Margaret for your kindness. Ted I pray God’s peace for you as you mourn your great loss. ~ Ron Vonk
