Obituary of Margot Bishop

72, Kingsport, passed away Saturday, September 8, 2007, in Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville, following a series of strokes. Born and raised in Saint John, N.B., she was the daughter of the late William and Louise (Sweet) Macaulay. Margot had a career in the medical field as a radiation therapist.

Margot and her husband John were married in Saint John, N.B., and returned to England together where she supported her husband as he completed his Ph.D. They eventually settled and raised their five children in the United States before retiring to Nova Scotia. One of Margot's passions was to knit, always giving her knitted items to others and donating many to the hospital. She volunteered at the Chrysalis House in Kentville. She looked forward to her weekly meetings with her close friends in the community. Her family remembers Margot as a devoted wife, mother and grandmother.
