Margaret was born In Summerview in 1933. She married Maurice Kropinak on July 24, 1955, and they farmed at Tod Creek. When they sold the farm, they moved to Pincher Creek and bought and ran the Macleod’s Store.

They then moved to Fort Macleod and bought the Rest A While Motel. They moved to Lethbridge and bought an apartment building. They ran that until they retired in 1980.

In 1991, Margaret returned to Pincher Creek, where she remained until her passing.

The family would like to thank Linda at Home Care, Lethbridge Family Services, and doctors, nurses and staff at Pincher Creek Health Centre.

A private family service was held. A video recording of the service will be available at www.edensfuneralhome.com/obituary/Margaret-Kropinak.
