Margaret passed away peacefully surrounded by her family. She will be remembered as a kind, loving and compassionate person who is deeply missed by her family and friends. Margaret is survived by her three children; Jane (Attilio Bertolo), Bill (Kate Ed) and Beth, her three beloved grandchildren Matthew, Emma and Adam, and her brother Jack Noseda. She was predeceased by her dear husband of 50 years, Peter Cockton, and her sister Joan Sherrott. Margaret was born in Melbourne, Australia to James and Ivy Noseda. An adventurous spirit and a love for travel led her to embark on many solo trips, visiting such disparate places as Egypt, Europe, Haiti, Cuba, New York and Jamaica. She had a keen eye for photography and loved reading and gardening. A long time member of the St. Dominic C.W.L., she was a woman of enduring faith and believed strongly in living that faith through service to others.  A career in nursing would take her from Australia to England, where she became a district nurse, driving a tiny Mini van all over the Lake District. After marrying in 1966, Margaret and Peter immigrated to Canada where they settled in Yellowknife, yet another stamp in her passport. Edmonton and Oakville would follow. A funeral mass will be celebrated at St. Dominic Church in Oakville on September 16th at 10:30 a.m., followed by a reception.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Development & Peace in Margaret's memory would be greatly appreciated.
