Margaret Hood Timoney

She lived an inspirational life. We are in awe of all she accomplished, especially raising all of you. Your dedication, love and devotion to your mom is the wish of every mom.
Thank you for that.

I share the family’s sorrow, and rejoice at Margaret’s legacy. Some of the people that are here because of her are the best people I know! What an incredible, full life she led. Kathy, Enid, Tobin, Marynell, Robyn and those I don’t personally know, you’re in my thoughts ❤️

I knew Margaret from classes she and I participated in at Dimple Dell Rec Center. She was a joyous, lovely woman. I am so sorry for your loss!

As a child, I always admired my aunt Margaret. I thought the world of her. I went to the doctor that she was a nurse with for many years and that was the doctor that delivered my two children, Branden and Jesica. She was so multi talented, she always had the sweetest smile and always just the most heartwarming giggle when she would laugh. It’s amazing to think all the things she saw in her life and with each moment she always made her life happier. My father, René Fournier, and my mother Lois Fournier, loved Margaret so much and all her family. She & Ray would come over for small little get-togethers and as youngsters my sister and I would just sit on the sidelines listening to their talks. I am so grateful to have had Margaret in my life and Kathy, Robin, Megan. Margaret definitely was a Renaissance woman. Blessings to the whole family, I love you. 💕

May I add one more precious memory that Margaret and my mom had that they would talk about from time to time. Being the young women after the war ended Margaret and Lois decided to make beautiful luxurious negligee gowns to surprise Ray and René.They went and got a hold of silk parachutes left over after WWII. They designed and made their own patterns, and diligently cut them out, pinning fabric together (they would help each other pinning, doing the fitting of the gowns to them). Then they sewed the fabric together and when they finished, yes they had these beautiful White Silk fabric negligee’s but the way they designed them as Lois and Margaret would describe it. They couldn’t even take a step without twisting to their side and gathering up a whole bunch of fabric that was dragging behind them with their arm because the negligee’s were like the Movie Star gowns of that time, so grandeur and beautiful. I could envision them working hard and wearing these beautiful creations. They would laugh and laugh and say all the different things they would have to do to create the Negligee’s. It was a very, important & loving time with their friendship together. Both ladies would always share every time they spoke about the things they found from patterns, designing and sewing. I remember Margret loved Vogue patterns. Both ladies looked very forward to those conversations. Thank you for the opportunity to have shared with you.

Margaret lived quite the life. I want to reach out to her family with love. May the memories of joy always surround each of you. I am sending you all tons and love and a big Paul hug.

Mom remembers going with Margaret after school to visit her grandmother hood who lived in an apartment on Main Street. She said that Margaret was devoted to her grandmother. And Grandmother Hood would always have a treat for them.
Margaret and Mom were in the fourth ward, and there were two other girls their age, Lois Christensen and Lois Fowler. They loved going to fish Lake with probably all the girls in town, where they camped out in tents and had so much fun.
Mom love to climb the apple tree with Margaret and eat green apples. Margaret had a cousin named Rita Jeanne (a few minutes later, mom said her name was Betty?😳 ), who Margaret’s mother always wanted them to include. But she was a couple years younger and had to bring her two brothers so they were not too excited to include her.
Mom remembered that Margaret’s father passed away when they were in high school and Mom said that it was a tragic event. Margaret’s mother married Mr. Fourneir, who lived on fourth West. Margaret had two brothers John, and Robin. Then she got a stepbrother named René who was really mean. He was a big tease.

Mom learned to sew at home and in classes at school. But in the summer, they had 4H classes where they had to make an outfit and model it at a fashion show. Mom and Margaret were both great seamstresses. Mom was pretty sad when she heard about Margaret’s passing, but she said, “well what can you expect at our age?”
We do send our sincere sympathy to your family. It has been pretty amazing to have Mom and Margaret, such good friends their whole lives, both live so long and still be friends and get to see each other now and then.
We send our love. Beecher’s, Freestone‘s, and Hansen‘s.

Hello!
I am Lu Jeanne Ogden's great grand daughter and I am so grateful I had the privilege to meet Margaret on a few occasions and see her and Lu Jeanne laugh and talk together! (We also happened to me almost next-door neighbors!) Margaret was also so kind to me and my family and had such a joyful sparkle about her no matter what. She brought lots of joy! Grateful to know and to have gotten to watch the services over Zoom and hear more of what an impact she has made. What a wonderful woman! Sending love to the family.
