Obituary for Margo Van de Laar
VAN DE LAAR, Margo (nee Shepherd) – It is with broken hearts that we must announce the passing of Margo Joanne Van de Laar at the greater Niagara General Hospital on Wednesday November 17, 2021 at the age of 82. We can’t imagine a world without her in it. She leaves to mourn her 2 sons David and Timothy (Liza) and the 5 bright lights in her life, her grandchildren Tanner, Bailey, Kennedy, Landon and Dyson. This past February she received her greatest hearts desire when she became a great-grandmother to a beautiful baby girl named Lake. Her beloved sister Sharon Haine (Doug) will miss her greatly, as will her cousins and large extended Van de Laar family. She is predeceased by her husband Bill and her eldest son Kerry. Margo was a proud life-long resident of Niagara-on-the-Lake and was an actively involved community member who volunteered her time and talents for just about anything she was asked. She was a devoted parish member of St. Vincent de Paul Church where she was involved in the Catholic Woman’s League and the Peach Festival. Margo loved anything creative and was a long-time member of Girl Guides of Canada. She was a great cook, baker, loved sewing and quilting. Margo knew people where ever she went and if she didn’t, you would soon be a friend. We were blessed to have her and will miss her everyday.
