With sadness, we announce the death of Margery Baker MacInnes on Saturday, January 3, 2009. Margery lived her life fully and endured her recent illness with uncomplaining good humour. She enjoyed the companionship of many close friends, and over the years enjoyed playing bridge and physical activities such as skiing, tennis, golf and hiking.
