She is also survived by her brothers Jay (Maureen) Kemble of Milk River, AB and Harold Kemble of Edmonton, AB; sister Betty Poiser of Sedgwick, AB; and brother-in-law Alex Kukucska as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Margaret was born in Pincher Creek, AB, to Victor B and Esther Kemble, on September 21, 1945. When she was seven years old, the Kemble family moved to Warner, AB, and when she was eleven, they moved to Milk River, AB. She married Steve Hoytos on October 19, 1963. In July 1964, their first and only child was born, a son, James Hoytos. They resided on their family farm until they retired, when they sold the farm and moved to the town of Milk River in 2007.

Mom loved her flowers, gardening and working alongside her husband with the farming and making wooden lawn ornaments. She loved all her family very much.

We would like to thank the palliative care staff in Milk River, and Dr. Roth from Lethbridge, for taking the greatest care of our mom, Margaret.

At Margaret’s request, no funeral service will be held. Cremation entrusted to Cornerstone Funeral Home.

In memory of Margaret Mary Hoytos, donations may be made to the Milk River Health Centre, Box 90, Milk River, AB, T0K 1M0.
