She handled her final illness as she had all of life's challenges, with dignity, grace and an unrelenting spirit. Her life was a gift to all of us. She learned from the FCJ Sisters to, in her own words, "try harder, aim higher, to accept any discipline we might pursue as a challenge" and to treat "life as a special responsibility for which we would one day be held accountable". Raised in West Hillhurst, Margaret attended Calgary schools, including St. Mary's Girls, before graduating from Holy Cross School of Nursing in 1948. She pursued graduate studies at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, before returning to teach clinical nursing at the Holy Cross. In 1952, Margaret married John Mahony, beginning many happy years of marriage and raising a large family. Her life was about serving others and putting their needs before her own. Predeceased by her son John, Margaret is survived by daughters Mary (Jeff) and Maureen (Trent); sons Michael (Lorna), James and Dennis (Zoe).

The Hon. Henry Slater Rowbotham Henry "Harry" Rowbotham of Calgary, Alberta, died peacefully in his sleep at Staywell Manor on Friday, April 29, 2011. Harry was born at Rosetown, Saskatchewan on September 30, 1920, one of seven children of Cecil and Bertha Rowbotham who farmed near Stranraer, Saskatchewan. In 1940, Harry interrupted his studies at the University of Saskatchewan to enlist in the Royal Canadian Navy, serving with the North Atlantic Command on convoy escorts. He was quickly promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He returned to the University of Saskatchewan, completing a Bachelor of Laws in 1948.

It was there that he met Doreen McPeak, a legal secretary in the adjacent law firm, Hall Maguire and Wedge.

In 1951, Harry and Doreen moved to Calgary, where he was employed by Western Leaseholds and later by the law department of Gulf Oil.

Harry was appointed to the District Court of Alberta in 1970 and to the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta in 1979. He retired from the bench on his seventy-fifth birthday. Those who knew Harry well will remember him as an avid traveler, enthusiastic reader of history and skilful raconteur.
