Margaret Jordan 1931 ~ 2013 Mrs. Margaret Jordan of Lethbridge, beloved companion of Dr. Ted Crapnell, passed away peacefully after a short illness on Thursday, September 5, 2013 at the age of 82 years.

Marg was born in Edmonton and was raised on the family farm nearby, the second youngest of eight children. She knew what work was and carried that work ethic through her life. Marg met and married Doug Jordan in 1951 and spent 53 happy years together even when Doug battled heart disease and a stroke. She was a special caregiver never worrying about herself. Doug passed in 2004 but earlier in March her youngest daughter Sharon passed while awaiting surgery for a second liver transplant. However, due to her strong character she was able to see the positives in life and continued to be the heart of our family. Her easy going and positive outlook on life led her to meet a loving companion, Ted Crapnell in 2006. Together they shared a love of travel, bowling, outings with friends, family occasions and sports. Both enjoyed watching curling, football, golf, hockey and Saturday and Sunday morning soccer games which enhanced their companionship and spunky competitive nature. Her smile lit up a room and no matter what event she attended, she always managed to be in the spotlight. Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing this kind and generous woman is aware of the incredible light she shone on those around her. Her happiest moments were spent with her family laughing and joking about everyday life. Her most precious treasures were her grandchildren Pam and Mike and seeing them marry their spouses and then producing her great-grandchildren made her smile even when her cancer advanced. We will miss this treasure of a woman so much.

Besides her loving companion Dr. Ted Crapnell, Marg is survived by her daughter Margaret Ann (Larry) Lazaruk; son-in-law Mike Gabourie; grandchildren Mike (Rebecca) Lazaruk and Pam (Brent) Banack; great-grandchildren Ben and Hanna Lazaruk and Amiah Banack; her sister-in-law Lorraine (Jack) Virgin and Sue Jordan; and Ted's children Kirsten (Zach) Rosenthal, Lisa (Ross) MacKay, and Jeff (Joanne) Crapnell; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and their families.

Marg was predeceased by her husband Robert ""Doug"" Jordan; daughter Sharon Conley; her parents Hendrika and Derek J.A. Radstaak; brothers Joes (Sally), John (Jean), Bill (May); sisters Ann (Simon), Rita (Henry), Wilhemina and Dena (Bill); her brother-in-law Ewart Jordan; and her mother and father-in-law Gwen and Ewart E Jordan.

A Funeral Service will be held at 2:00pm on Friday, September 13th, 2013 at MARTIN BROTHERS RIVERVIEW CHAPEL, 610 4th Street South, Lethbridge with Reverend Hugh Jack, officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to St. Michaels Palliative Care, 1400 9th Ave South, Lethbridge, AB T1J 4V5.
