"Margaret Sarah Montgomery
February 18, 1924 - May 4, 2020
Marg passed away peacefully on May 4, 2020 at the North Island Hospital in Courtenay. She was predeceased by her husband Cecil "Cece" Benjamin Montgomery and her brother Victor Mayor. Marg is survived by her sons Kevin (Terri) Montgomery of Florida and Scott (Nooshin) Montgomery of Courtenay, daughter Lisa White (Daniel) of Queensland; grandchildren Tanis Montgomery, Alec White, Adrienne White and Angelina Patterson (Colton); great grandchildren Shep and Heli Patterson, sister Jean (Gordon) Jenkinson; nieces and nephews, Grieg (Carolyn) Jenkinson of Victoria, Gavin (Kari) Jenkinson of Victoria and many in BC, Alberta and Manitoba.
Marg lived her 96 years to the fullest including those spent with husband Cecil until his death in 1997. She grew up near Gladstone, Manitoba and in 1954 moved with Cece to start his general practice in Cumberland. If there was a club for Mom's interest, she was part of it: NVIHA, CADORA, the Woolgathers Club, Royston Bridge Club, Comox Valley Curling Club, and Cumberland Recreation Institute. Marg loved everything she did and took on many new adventures throughout her life. She was proud of her Scottish heritage and had extensively researched our family trees. Marg was an active person - playing badminton in Cumberland for many years, an avid horsewoman and talented craftswoman as evidenced by the gifts we all received - quilts, leather work, paintings or knitting. Her knitted socks were a sought-after item! She was a great Bridge player who taught her grandchildren math skills by playing rummy and crib. She took up the bass guitar and ukulele to complete the band at the Seniors Home in her 80s. Marg welcomed all as friends and embraced many into our extended family. She renewed a number of Cumberland friendships during her time at the Comox Valley Seniors Village. A heartfelt thank you to all friends and staff at the Comox Valley Seniors Village.

"Jean Harriett Jenkinson
May 11, 1928 - January 28, 2021
Jean passed away peacefully on January 28, 2021 at the North Island Hospital in Courtenay. She was predeceased by her sister Margaret Montgomery (Cumberland), and brother Victor Mayor (Calgary).
Jean is survived by her husband of 59 years Gordon Joseph Jenkinson, her sons Greig (Carolyn) Jenkinson of Victoria and Gavin (Kari) Jenkinson of Victoria; grandchildren Cailin Jenkinson, Paiden Jenkinson, and Duncan Jenkinson; nieces and nephews Kevin (Terri) Montgomery of Florida, Scott (Nooshin) Montgomery of Courtenay, and Lisa (Dan) White of Queensland.
Jean grew up near Gladstone, Manitoba and moved to the Comox Valley at the encouragement of her sister Margaret in the mid 1950's where she met Gordie. The garden at their home on Stewart Avenue was a hummingbird oasis of colour, which they enjoyed with a cup of coffee from their deck.
Jean was a member of the Comox Valley Curling Club for years. Many summers were spent poolside at community swim meets for Greig and Gavin throughout Vancouver Island and many special and long-lasting friendships were made with other parents.
After Gordie's retirement, they could be found golfing every day at Longlands and Jean had a fondness for hole #4 where she successfully made many holes in one.
Jean and her sister, Margaret Montgomery, extensively researched their Scottish heritage. They travelled together to Scotland to find relatives, who later came to visit in Courtenay.
Jean and Gordie moved into assisted living together at Comox Valley Seniors Village where Jean took great comfort in living just a few doors down from her sister.
The Jenkinson family would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to all Jean's friends, old and new, and especially the staff at the Comox Valley Seniors Village who helped and cared for her each day.

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His Hand."
