After taking time out to care for her growing family she returned to the profession she loved, to work for some years at St. Joseph's Hospital in Dalhousie.

Following retirement from nursing she served for many years as a volunteer with the Canadian Cancer Society, and as a member of the St. Joseph`s Hospital Auxiliary, from which she held a Life Member pin. Throughout her life she was active in the work of St. John`s United Church in Dalhousie, serving over the years on many committees, most recently as an Elder, and in the Thrift Shop. She was a charter member of the United Church Women (UCW) of St. John`s United, having previously been a member of Ladies Aide and the Women`s Missionary Society, and was honoured with UCW Life Membership in recognition of the Offices she held at both local and presbyterial level. In her later years Margaret was active in the local Golden Age Club, and the Golden Valley Square Dance Club. Of the many awards and commendations for her contributions to the community, highlights included Charlo "Citizen of the Year" in 1990, and the 125 Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada medal in 1992.
Margaret will be sadly missed by daughter Ann (Winston) Babin of Ottawa, sons Alex (Maxine) Craig of Sea Side, NB, James (Joan) Craig of Pennfield, NB, Lloyd (Janice) Craig of Quispamsis, NB, grandchildren Craig, Matthew, Katelynn, Hugh, Colleen and Anne, and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
