Margaret Rutley Tribute
The kindest person I have ever known passed away peacefully surrounded by family. She wrote lyric and haiku poems published in Canada, USA, UK, Africa, India, and New Zealand. Co-created a book of haiku and related poems with Sidney Bending in 2020 called Whether Forecast. Published poems for 7 years as part of The Heron's Quill with Sidney Bending and Nika (Jim Force). Sang in a nightclub in Halifax, played a grand piano on main stage, taught her grown children and young grandson piano, played guitar for years for her Brownie Group. Typed, proofread braille, even creating a few new symbols. Won prizes and awards with Avon. Trained dogs and rode horses. Decorated cakes. Most of her life, hiked 5 km a day. Served her country in the airforce. Raised a kind and compassionate family.
