Margo Joan Reekie lived life with enthusiasm, kindness, and purpose. A lifelong Saskatonian, she built a 33-year career at SaskTel, where she was known as a respected leader and a true friend who inspired others to grow. Deeply committed to her community, Margo was an active volunteer with the Saskatoon United Way, serving as Volunteer Campaign Chair in 2000 and preparing to become Board President for 2007–08.
Despite her busy life, Margo always made time for the people and places she loved. She found joy in gardening—often sharing her award-winning yard with neighbours and children—and in relaxing at the family cabin on Iroquois Lake. Above all, Margo’s greatest passion was her family. She and her husband Tom raised two sons, David and Evan, and she embraced every moment as a devoted mother and their biggest supporter.
Margo faced her cancer diagnosis with the same strength and positivity she brought to all parts of her life. She passed away on June 30, 2007, leaving a wide circle of people whose lives she quietly and profoundly touched. In honour of her compassion, a memorial fund was created through the United Way to continue her legacy of helping others.
David Elliot Reekie, shared his mother’s warmth, humour, and ability to connect with others. From an early age, hockey became central to who he was. As a goaltender, he was known for his competitive spirit, focus, and resilience, and for being a steady, motivating presence in the locker room. His teammates remember his glove saves, intensity, and the way he could lift the energy of everyone around him.
Off the ice, David was defined by his kindness, loyalty, and genuine care for people. His easy smile and generous heart left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
Together, Margo and David’s memories inspire the continuing impact of this fund—built on compassion, community, and the deep connections they forged throughout their lives.
