Margaret (Peigi) Isobel Macmillan (born November 1, 1940 in St. Catherines, ON) passed away quite suddenly on March 11, 2015 while travelling at the San Jorge Eco-Lodge,

Ecuador. Peigi was a very experienced and much loved classroom educator in several B.C. school districts, a volunteer in her community, a seasoned world traveller and passionate patron of the arts. She was a talented professional artist, an ardent birder and a profound lover of nature. Travel was an adventure for her right up to the end of her joyous life.

West Vancouver; sisters Renee Prine of

Westport, WA and Janet Dallas of Vancouver and numerous close family relatives and dear friends. She was predeceased by her parents James and Elizabeth McCallum. She was cremated as per her wishes. There will be no
