Passed away peacefully at Strathcona Long Term Care on Wednesday, December 4, 2024 in her 90th year. Marg is reunited with her husband of 65 years and best friend, Laverne “Vern” Williamson (2019). Marg was the proud and loving mother of Eileen Holliday and her late husband Ralph (2009) of Mount Forest, and Dianne and her husband Bruce Leibold of Markham. Dear grandmother of seven grandchildren: Alison (Mike) Doucette, Meredith Holliday, Matt (Tabitha) Holliday, Graham Leibold (Rebecca Sheluk), Collin (Melissa) Leibold, Kevin Leibold and Randi Mae Stanford-Leibold. She will be fondly remembered by her nine great-grandchildren: Ryerson Doucette, Karson Doucette, Sutherland Holliday, Lakyn Holliday, Zeke Stanford-Leibold, Everleigh Leibold, Gerald Leibold, Etta Sheluk-Leibold and Coral Stanford. Marg is survived by her sister Marie Nelson, sister-in-law Shirley Witherow, as well as many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents Claude and Mary Witherow; brothers Elmer (Yvonne) Witherow, Robert Witherow; and brother-in-law Ray Nelson. Marg touched many lives as a Sunday School Teacher at Letter Breen United Church. She was a familiar face in Mount Forest having worked at the Five Cent to the Dollar Store, Noonan’s Pro Hardware, Dundalk Bakery Outlet and Rudi’s Department Store. Marg took pleasure in her flowers and seeing the cardinals at the bird feeder, completing her daily word searches, watching the horse races and playing Rack-o with family and friends. The grandchildren and some friends were reflecting on Grandma’s baking. Some of their favourites included zucchini loaf, strawberry jam, banana muffins, peach cobbler, and apple crisp. The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Louise Marshall Hospital, the PSW’s from Right at Home and Care Partners, Guelph-Wellington Paramedics and the staff at Strathcona Long Term Care for their support. A private family service will be held at the England Funeral Home with interment at Cochrane Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations to the Alzheimer Society of Waterloo Wellington or Letter Breen United Church would be appreciated by the family.

Those we love don’t go away
They walk beside us everyday
Unseen unheard
But always near
Still loved
Still missed
And very dear.
