Dona Margaret Lewis Madill
Our branch has lost a
long time friend and member. Sick for only a short time, her death took many of
us by surprise. Working as recently as
July recording the Bridgeport cemetery she was for decades a important part of
our activities. Always enthused, full of ideas and suggestions our branch has
been always the beneficiary. She is missed.
Dona Margaret Lewis was born from 1941 to 1942 in Of, Cambridge, Waterloo Co., Ontario, died on 5 Aug 2010 in Cambridge, Waterloo Co., Ontario aged 68, and was cremated in Parklawn Cemetery, Cambridge, Waterloo Co., Ontario.
