Margaret Marie Deagle

Margaret Marie Deagle (née: Noble) aged 96 years of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, passed away peacefully, with the love of her family surrounding her, on Monday, May 18th, 2026.

Margaret was born on the family farm in Mitchellton, SK on June 9th, 1929 to parents James and Margaret “Peggy” Noble.  She was the only daughter growing up with brothers James “Jimmy”, Stewart, and Norman “John”, and adjusted quite well to farm life.  Margaret was not a big fan of riding horses, which was the mode of transportation to and from school in Mitchellton, where only one room was used for Grades 1 through 10 then on to Moose Jaw Technical School “Peacock”, for grades 11 and 12, where she met her husband of 50 years, Garnet Deagle.  She worked at Eatons while attending school, weighing and packing fruit in their grocery department.  She also worked at the Metropolitan store until she enrolled at Moose Jaw Business College where she studied secretarial.  After, she worked at S.S. Kresgee’s in the office until her marriage to Garnet on July 1, 1950.  

Margaret was a stay-at-home mother and wife.  She was one of a few women that had their license and a vehicle to drive and was often called upon to drive neighbors and friends.  Margaret had many skills that kept her busy – she sewed, knit, crocheted, hooked rugs, and was a prolific puzzle maker.  She, along with Garnet, enjoyed travelling and would go on road trips where Margaret would do the driving.  These were not short jaunts but often were multi day trips driving and camping from one coast to the other.  In later years, they began travelling by airplane.

Margaret, like so many Moose Javians, would meet up with friends and acquaintances at the Co-op for a coffee or two and then after it’s closure, would go to McDonald’s or A&W, and then a Smitty’s with her good friends Gail and Bud.  She loved to meet up with her Mitchellton Ladies group once a month for lunch and visits and was also involved with the TOPS group for 30 years.  Until she got sick in November, Margaret was very active, often seen in her car or grocery shopping.

She was predeceased by her husband, Garnet in 2001; great-grandson, Robert in 2001; son, Lance in 2025; parents, James and Margaret Noble; brothers: James (Vera), Stewart (Donnie), and Norman; and sisters-in-law: Cora (Nick), Wynne (Richard), Ethel, and Jean (Scotty).  Margaret leaves behind to mourn her loss, her daughter, Wanda (Mike) Mawson of Belleville, ON; sons, Wade (Carol) of Lemberg, SK and David (Rayal) of Moose Jaw, SK; daughter-in-law, Pat Deagle; and sister-in-law, Joyce Noble.  Also mourning her loss are her grandchildren: Greg (Gina), Jeff (Ashley), Jody (Andrea), Chris (Jen), Kimberley (Ashley), Angela (Reg), Michelle (Duane), Jordon (Kaitlyn), Angela (Kelly), Bradley, Jazzmin, Jessy (Paige); great-grandchildren: Eva, Jora, Alexander (Vanessa), Jessica, Kimberly, Dylan, Natalie, Alexis, Emma, Katana, Morgan, Liam, Erica, Virginia, Jack, Ben, Allie, Kylie, Kyson, Kesler, Abigail, Anna, Sam, Jayven, Bella, Amelia, Madden, and Grayson; great-great-grandchildren, Theodore and Mason; as well as many nieces and nephews, cousins, and dear friends.

You are in our hearts and thoughts.  We miss you, Mom.
