September 20, 1931 – January 4, 2026

We are sad to announce the passing of Margaret Heywood, of Winnipeg Manitoba. Margaret was predeceased by her parents Bill and Nellie Farraday, brother Lenny and her beloved husband Norm Heywood.  She is survived by her children Lee (Glen), Gord, Doug, Dave (Diane), grandchildren Lisa, Jade, Rachel, Mary, and great-grandchild Emily.

Born in Winnipeg, Margaret married Norm in 1953 and they raised their family in Fort Rouge. Sunday pot roast and the many, many other celebrations she hosted demonstrated her love of family time. She always gave a card and gift for every birthday.  Her sense of humor led her to regift one son the exact same card over several birthdays when he would leave that card behind.

Her toll house cookies are a top pick, eaten straight from the freezer, which she kept stocked year-round. Everyone knows the recipe, but no one could duplicate her touch.

In her later years, she could be coaxed to tell a story of her earlier days.  The story of how she got Sam, the very best family dog ever, was a favourite memory.

In keeping with her wishes, cremation has taken place and a private graveside service will follow.

August 12, 1945 – October 8, 2024

The family is deeply saddened by the passing of our beautiful sister Margaret Glew (Newman) at the age of 79 years. Marg fought a courageous three round battle with cancer that ultimately ended in the early morning on Tuesday, October 8.

Marg was predeceased by her parents, Stan and Betty Newman and her life partner Leo Girouard, as well as her beloved dogs Toby, Rusty and Bella. She is survived by her son Darren (Tamara) and five siblings Stan (Barb), Les (Eleanor), Ken, Randal (Brad) and Valerie as well as numerous nieces, nephews and extended family members. She will be missed by so many friends.

Born in Windsor, Ontario she moved to Winnipeg with her parents and four brothers in 1957. After arriving in Winnipeg, when she learned her mom was having another baby, Marg told everyone about her plan to move out of the family home unless it was a girl. In June 1958 she finally got that little sister.

She attended Churchill High School and started her working life at St. John’s College with the University of Manitoba. She moved from there into Real Estate, initially as an Agent and finally as Marketing Coordinator for Re/Max Professionals. It was during this stage of her career that her first battle of cancer took her away from work.

Marg was married in 1967 and raised her son Darren in Transcona. She was involved with the executive board of Oxford Heights Community Centre and was first a hockey mom, then a football mom. She enjoyed hanging out at the Central Hotel in Transcona where she made so many friends. Marg played softball with her Ballbuster gal pals in Transcona, enjoyed curling, playing cards, and spending time with friends and family. She always had a story or a joke to share. Marg loved her family and friends so much. She will be sadly missed by everyone who knew her.

A gathering of family and friends is scheduled for Saturday, October 19 from 11am to 2pm at the South Osborne Legion, 426 Osborne Street. 

We would like to thank the staff at Victoria Hospital who were so kind in her last few days. Thanks also to Interlake Cremation and Memorial Services. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Winnipeg Pet Rescue Shelter or Winnipeg Humane Society.
