Born to Leo Leveille and Louisa Tremblay on May 27th 1927 at St Lina, Alberta and was the youngest of 6 girls and 2 boys. The family moved a short distance to Bonnyville Alberta. Leo was the town blacksmith and church choir member. Marguerite loved to terrorize her older siblings and then huddle under her father's coat. She had some pretty good marks while at school and actually skipped a grade. Her classmate “Dollard Demers” had his arm around Marguerite on the back porch one day and her father walked by and came up with a song for the two of them which he sang whenever Dollard was around. Marguerite left Bonnyville with her sister Rita who had recently married Julien LaForce and traveled to the big city of Montreal in 1945. They lived at 3438 Rue de Bordeaux just east of downtown. Marguerite started work at Bell Canada and then worked for the revenue office of the government of Canada. A country girl, she met and married street savvy Harold Pomeroy and set up shop in Crawford Park in Verdun and then moved to Ottawa. She had 3 children Ann, Mark And June. Marguerite and Harold had been dabbling in real estate for 20 years while there and Montreal. The country girl became a shrewd money manager and traded her acquired land in Plantagenet Ontario for a condo apartment in Ottawa east after her divorce from Harold.

She met Robert Williams and they were married in 1974. They both loved square dancing, traveled extensively though the USA and lived in Minnesota for a while. They then moved back to Ottawa for Bob's work and they eventually bought a 15 acre hobby farm in Spencerville Ontario. They raised turkeys and chickens. On our frequent visits to see them we always came back with eggs. Lots of eggs. When Bob died in 1994, she moved back to Ottawa about 4 years later and was living in a condo in the east end. She loved her flat screen watching westerns, Hercules Poirot, game and cooking shows. Eventually time crept up on her and she started needing assistance. She gave up her Dodge Reliant and her drivers license at about age 75. Family would take her out shopping and otherwise take care of her while she plied them with her specific brand of humour and whit. Always one to help, she rescued Buttercup and Miss Daisy from a puppy mill and her story was published in the Ottawa Citizen newspaper. At first, Buttercup could not be approached for several weeks but eventually became her bud and fearless protector. For a long time she knitted baby bonnets and blankets to be donated to unwed mothers on welfare and was always quick to help the underdog. She was often mailing boxes of items to the needy. She had a remarkably huge heart. She outlived both husbands, her rescued puppies and enjoyed many more years.

Marguerite was a survivor. She endured many trials in life, even recently overcoming breast cancer. She remained a pillar of strength and unwavering supporter of her family. She had a colorful life and shared many and often humorous stories. She had an extremely accurate memory of events, names and dates and her grandchildren will cherish those stories and memories of their vibrant Nana.

Marguerite passed from this world at 2:48PM, January 17, 2018 while under the very compassionate care of Kim and Ellie at the Montfort Hospital in Ottawa. She was 90 years plus 7 months old. Her remains were taken to the Beechwood, Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services for cremation.

Marguerite is survived by her sisters Rita (BC), Juliette (CA) and Evelyn (NY), children Ann, Mark (Susan) and June, grandchildren Jon (Anna), Anissa (Robert), Samantha (Michael), Sabrina, Sara and Liam, great grandchildren Fiona, Cole, Isabella, Alexandria, Russell and Thomas. Predeceased are sisters Jeanette and Albertine and brothers Roger and Romeo.

Marguerite will be forever in her loved ones hearts.
