To All Who Loved Her;

Marguerite Edna Hannah McCreery passed away in her sleep this morning, Jan. 15th, '08. She died peacefully at the rest home, Rose Meadows, in San Jose. She was 99 years and 2 mos. old.
Marguerite was born in Longueil, a suburb of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on Nov. 21, 1908. She traveled with her family across Canada and ended up in British Columbia, where she grew up on Vancouver Island, later attending the Univ. of British Columbia. During the depression she relocated in the United States, finding work in Piedmont, Ca. An avid golfer, Marguerite met Hal McCreey on the Stanford golf course. They married at Stanford cathedral and lived in Menlo Park, Ca. They had two children, Glenn McCreery [of Idaho Falls, ID] and Anita Margaret Bradley [of Hawaii Kai., HI].
Marguerite is also the grandmother of Mara K. Benson, Ryan T. Benson, Anita McCreery, James Sellman, and the great-grandmother of Allie Benson, Jake Benson, Sophie Joughin, and Marco Benson.
Marguerite was the captain of a women's golf team at Los Altos Country Club for many years and was a champion golfer, making 4 holes in one. She was a volunteer for Larabie, worked for Los Altos library, and did many other charitable works. Since she was an animal lover, donations can be made in her name to The Animal Humane Society. A family memorial will be held in her honor in Los Altos.
