TAYLOR, Margaret - Margaret Elizabeth Taylor, in her 74th year, passed peacefully at her home in Kemble, the village that she loved. Beloved daughter of the late Wilbur and Nettie Taylor (nee McKinlay). Loving mother of Kelly Babcock and his wife, Geri, Chris Babcock and his partner, Deanna Martin and Danny Babcock and his wife, Lois O'Neill. Devoted granny of Gennie- Wren and Nicholas. Held in the hearts of her sister, Beverley Davis, of Tofield, Alberta and her brother, Donald Taylor, of Chatsworth. Predeceased by her in-laws, Delphine Taylor and Lloyd Davis and her nephew, Jim Davis. Good friend of Susan Marshall, of Kemble and Chasity Stewart, of Cambridge. Margaret spent her childhood on the family farms in Kemble. As a young mother she was in the forefront of the drives to build the new arena and to convert the hall into a Senior & Community Centre. She helped to produce Christmas Concerts, was a member of the Kemble Women's Institute, taught gardening for the 4-H Club, took her turn running the snack bar at the old arena and cleaning the church. She drove rural mail and was the Post Mistress for many years. She, along with her mother and others, researched and wrote the Chronicles of Kemble. Her love of the past was evident in her wealth of stories and her respect for old things led her to a second career as a respected antique dealer. Family and friends may call at the BRIAN E.
