Margaret was born Wednesday, April 17, 1946, in Pukatawagan, Manitoba to Adolph and Catherine Dumas.
Margaret had a courageous laugh that could be heard throughout the room.
Throughout her years Margaret enjoyed camping and picking berries. She also loved gospel music and many community activities. When she could, she loved to travel and visit with family and friends. Her last trip was last year to Banff and Edmonton, Alberta to visit her sons.
Margaret passed away peacefully with family and friends by her side, Thursday, August 4, 2016, at the Rod McGillivary Memorial Care Home, Opaskwayak Cree Nation, Manitoba, at the age of 70 years.
Margaret will be forever remembered and missed by her children Hector, Lance, Adolph, Vanessa, Malcolm (Delonna), Dale; grandchildren Lawrence, Anna Jane, Logan, Leon, Anna, Zenon, Dana, Marianna; brother Joseph Ovide Dumas; uncle Ignace King; sister-in-law Anna Sinclair; and many relatives and friends too numerous to mention.
Margaret was predeceased by her husband Zenon Bighetty; parents Adolph and Catherine Dumas; son Vince; daughter Mildred; brother Lawrence; sisters Marie Beardy, Jean Ducharme; beloved friends Nancy Linklater, Delores Colomb; auntie Margaret Francois; uncles Simone Bighetty, Fred Bighetty, John Bighetty; and many relatives and friends too numerous to mention.
If we forgot anyone, it was not intentional.
