OBITUARY<br />

Temporary<br />

two week<br />

teaching<br />

job lasted<br />

25 years<br />

Margaret Merchant was born April<br />

27, 1929 at Gadsby, Ab., one of 12 children<br />

born to Archie and Martha<br />

McKay.<br />

She was the first of her siblings<br />

born in Canada.<br />

The family lived at Westwood’s<br />

community until her mother passed<br />

away when Margaret was only 13.<br />

At that time she went to live with<br />

her oldest sister’s family, Mary and<br />

Elmer Smith at Castor. She completed<br />

her junior and senior high<br />

school at Theresetta where Uncle<br />

Elmer was a teacher.<br />

At the end of her Grade 12,<br />

Margaret won a scholarship to further<br />

her education and went to<br />

University of Alberta Normal School.<br />

Her first teaching post was at<br />

Lauderdale –a one room school with<br />

grades 1 to 8. In<br />

conversation one<br />

time, she mentioned<br />

that some of<br />

the grade 8 boys<br />

were bigger than<br />

her.<br />

In 1950 she and<br />

her younger sister<br />

came to<br />

Coronation where<br />

she had a teaching<br />

position.<br />

Merchant<br />

A local girl, Sheila Merchant,<br />

became friends with them and kept<br />

telling her brother Don about the virtues<br />

of the new teacher. Curiosity<br />

overcame Don.<br />

It didn’t take very long to become<br />

smitten and they were married on a<br />

very rainy July 6, 1951.<br />

In 1953, Linda was born followed by<br />

Allan in 1954. Unfortunately a farm<br />

accident took Allan into God’s hands<br />

when he was two. In 1956 Ross<br />

became part of the family and in 1962<br />

Neil joined his older brother and<br />

sister.<br />

Margaret went back to teaching at<br />

the beginning of the 1965/66 school<br />

year. It was not in her plan at all but a<br />

temporary two week teaching job<br />

lasted 25 years.<br />

In late August, Don Kilback the<br />

principal at the school came for<br />

coffee. His plight was dire. It was a<br />

week till school opened and they did<br />

not have a grade seven teacher for the<br />

“new” math program.<br />

She finally agreed and the rest,<br />

they say, is history.<br />

She retired in 1987 and her and Don<br />

took up travelling and managing the<br />

senior’s manors, Kings Court and<br />

Windsor Manor for a number of<br />

years.<br />

After Don passed away in 1995, she<br />

kept herself busy with her home, her<br />

flowers and watching her birds.<br />

She especially enjoyed her kids,<br />

grandchildren and great grandchildren<br />

and coaching her beloved “Blue<br />

Jays” from her chair and cheering on<br />

her Oilers.<br />

She lived on the farm a mile north<br />

and a mile west of Coronation for the<br />

past 65 years.<br />
