Margaret was born in Climax, Saskatchewan on February 7, 1926. She was raised on the family farm near Climax and after grade school, Margaret moved to Winnipeg to begin her training as a nurse. She then moved to Taber to complete her training, and that is where she met her husband. Margaret married Kasmer Golby in 1948 and farmed in the Vauxhall area for many years before moving into Vauxhall. After Kasmer’s passing Margaret moved into Taber. Wherever she was, she enjoyed gardening in every aspect and always had her yard full of flowers and trees. Margaret was an avid church supporter and a faithful member of the Evangelical Free Church. She was a loving wife, devoted mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
