Margaret Louise "Marno" Mckinney

McKINNEY, Margaret Louise, a.k.a. Marno, neé Baker, neé Waterhouse passed away from one of the rarest of afflictions, old age, in her 93rd year at Woodstock General Hospital in the early hours of Tuesday, November 27th. Marno requested that it be said that she went kicking and screaming, which reflects her humor and straight-talking, honest, reflection of the world around her, and on life itself, right to the end. She graduated with her RN at The Toronto General Hospital. An avid painter, she is a former member of The Woodstock Art Gallery and The Ingersoll Creative Arts Centre. Born in Ingersoll, Ontario, on January 23rd 1920, Marno is predeceased by her husbands, Herbert Frederick Baker and Steadman McKinney and sister, Mary Smith.

The family would like to thank the staff at Oxford Gardens for their kind care during Marno's four years there and the nurses at Woodstock General Hospital who cared for her in her final few days.
