So very saddened and shocked to hear of Margy’s passing. What a delightful, gorgeous, friendly happy person. I loved to linedance with Margy and she brought much laughter to our sessions. Her last words to me were “I’ll see you next week”. How precious is life.
Sincere condolences to John, Tim, Sam, Lacey and Kinsley and all her beautiful grandchildren.
Dancing in Heaven now Margy, I will miss you🥰💃🏼
My sincere condolences to John and family on the sudden loss of Margy, a truly lovely lady who adored and was so proud of her family. I will always remember the competitions the three of us would have guessing the total of the grocery shop with the winner being the one that had to pay, so always made sure my guess was way out!! Always a friendly greeting for everyone, and I will fondly remember the big beaming smile when we met just days ago at the show ‘n shine.
Rest peacefully Margy 🌷🙏
My deepest condolences to the Mowat family on the passing of dear Marg. She has a special place in my heart as a woman who had a smile that could light up a room. Marg was always so positive and encouraging to all of us at St Patricks Primary School, Pyramid Hill. The world would be a better place if we were like Marg. I will always remember her with much love.
A beautiful Sister in law taken far too soon. Margy was always so positive and looking out for everyone else. She will be greatly missed.
Love to John, Tim and Lacey, Sam and Kinsley and all the grandies.

Thinking of you all during this awful time. Marg and John made us feel so welcome when we first moved out to Dingwall and even though we were only neighbours for a couple of years, Marg always asked about the kids and our lives. Such a kind and caring lady, with a heart of gold.

I treasure memories of our friendship over many years … it only took a phone call or a visit to feel close again.
I know she will be missed by everyone that was lucky enough to know her.
To Johnny, Sam & Kinsley, Tim and families. We are sorry Margy was taken from you too soon. Such a beautiful little lady with a big heart. From dropping in to say hello or sharing her cooking it was always done with a smile.

To John, and family. Graeme and I extend our deepest sympathy to you at this sad time. A beautiful lady, full of fun and great wit. Always ready for a chat and never too busy to give her time to her church and community. Margie I will miss our banter working together at the Hospital Op Shop. You always made the time go fast with your tales and humour. John, boys and families you face grief at this moment and when the memories flow, I hope this will help ease your pain. Sleep peacefully Margie in the arms of your Lord. Lorraine
We can’t imagine a birthday without your cheery phone calls, a family event without your malteaser balls, a greeting without the big hug and love we felt from you. We will miss the snap chats and commentary of your lifes work and the little prompts “Say hello Johnny”. Aunty Marg, you were so special to us and everyone who knew you.
Sending so much love to Uncle John, Tim & Lacey, Sam & Kins and all the grand babies.
Love Hayley, Lily & Oakley xxx⁷
Hi Family My children Eugene and Tilda and myself are devastated by this news–we can imagine how you feel as we too had an unexpected death of a partner and parent. So much love to you whilst knowing you will just be running on empty at the moment. I love my cousin Marg: very short (beyond short!), health problems, a lot to contend with, including being the eldest child of ten!–but always spreading light and love and cheer. And such a sassy mouth! I have read about other people saying how she was always taking pix–she was recording our and her lives! When I was a toddler, I was taken up to Manangatang for (I think) eight or so months. Apparently Lois and I (approximately the same age) were found making mischief many times. But also, certified fact, Marg mothered me when my mother wasn’t there. When I became an adult, my cuz never reminded me of the no doubt many times she changed my nappies or my pants; she treated me as an equal. A very kind soul; a devoted family member and parishioner; never afraid to say the naughty thing. I will miss her very much. PS John drove Eugene and Tilda on his reconstructed cars when we visited in 2012 and my guys still remember this. Thank you, John. To you and your boys and all the family–so much love.
Our sincere condolences to John, Tim, Sam and families on the passing of Margy. We hope the happy memories you have, help you through this difficult time.
Debra, Kevin O’Brien and family.
Dear John, Tim, Sam and all families. Such a beautiful person. I will miss our chats at the heated pool. Deepest sympathy to you all. Love to all. Lynette & Allan xxx

So sorry for your loss John and family
Marg was a lovely lady.
Alan and Vonny Gillingham
So sorry to hear of Margy’s passing. Deepest sympathy to all families concerned. So many memories of times with Margy. Only a couple of weeks ago, she bought Communion to me at home while I’m not well enough to attend Mass. I was sure, I would pass before her. I didn’t get to say thankyou. I’m so deeply saddened by this news. At rest now Margy. R.I.P.
Deepest sympathy to John, Tim, Sam and families. What an honour to have know Margy. Always happy & always positive. May you rest in eternal peace Marg X
Deepest sympathy to John, Tim, Sam and families on the sudden passing of Marg. Such a kind, giving and happy person, if everyone was like her the world would be a much better place! You will be missed Marg. May you rest in peace 🙏
To John, Tim and extended Mowat families, my condolences and thoughts are with you all on the passing of Margy. Such a vibrant, caring and beautiful lady. Margy you always had time for a chat, a smile, a laugh and I will always remember that twinkle in your eye (especially when talking about the grandies).
Raeleen Fletcher.
John, Tim, Sam and family. We were saddened by the news of our beautiful Margie’s passing.
A kind soul who didn’t mind a laugh at her own expense. Forever memories made on the farm in Manangatang and again in Kerang.
Our thoughts are with the Nolen family too.
Big hugs to John, Tim and Sam.
Your friends,
Mick, Janine, Adam and Patrick Carroll
Aunty Marg, we are so saddened to lose you. A kind, generous, and wickedly funny person at family get togethers. You always asked about the kids and had a tale to tell of all your beautiful grandchildren. I will remember your amazing cooking and always with the camera out capturing moments.
To Uncle John, Tim & Lacey, Sam & Kinsley and all your families, we love you and are here for you during this sad time xx

To Dear John, Tim Sam & families. Words cannot express how saddened I was to hear of Margie’s passing. What a sweet and kind person she was. As kids we were neighbours on farms near Manangatang.

My deepest sympathy, my thoughts and love are with you all on the loss of this beautiful lady. Always smiling and inclusive.
From Kathy Nolen.
50 years ago I met a girl who I’ll never forget. From flatmates, a wonderful road trip to Surfers – we reached our destination almost on dark, but had to find the Catholic Church before somewhere to eat and sleep – a beautiful memory. Such a dear friend and we both ended up in Kerang with our beautiful families and became members of the Car Club, continuing our connection.
Marg, you were such a good human, loving and giving, kind and friendly, happy and laughing, you lived your life to the full and had more to do. Such a big heart, always caring and doing for others and so involved in whatever community you belonged to. Our hearts are broken and still in shock that you left so suddenly. You will be missed by so many who loved you dearly. So glad you were in my life.
Deepest sympathy to John, Tim, Lacey, Sam, Kinsley and Marg’s beautiful grandchildren. Family was everything to Marg and to her brother and 8 sisters she was your Rock and Glue and its a sad time for all of you too. I know Marg will be okay being with the Lord.
Bev Wilkinson.
It’s Marg’s kind nature more than anything! She always treated people with dignity & respect. What a tragedy she had to leave us so soon. But I’m sure Marg is hoping her death will help you and everybody everywhere just stop trying to be dead.
Jarrod Wilkinson.
Deepest sympathy to John, Tim, Sam & families and Marg’s family on your loss, taken far too soon.
A loved and loving, kind lady who will be so sadly missed by her many friends and community.
Always there with a caring, helpful hand when needed.
Her family will be so proud of her.
It was a privilege to have known Marg who I met through my daughter Bev
Love and kind regards, Audrey Hart.
To John, Tim & Lacey, Sam & Kinsley and families,

Sincere condolences to John, Tim, Lacey, Sam and Kingsley and your families. Also to Margy’s siblings, the family she loved to share news about. Margy had so many friends, my thoughts are with you all as well. Margy loved and was so proud of her grandchildren. She saw the good in everyone, her smile and infectious laughter filled everyone with happiness. You were a true friend, l loved your calls after we left Kerang, always full of good news. May you rest in God’s peace, you are sure to be blessed and in heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, and heartfelt apologies that I can’t return for your Funeral Mass, I’ll be there in spirit.
