Obituary for Margot Emma Martha Ziörjen (Fischer)

In Loving Memory of Margot Ziörjen
Of Minden who passed unexpectedly on December 4th, 2019 lovingly surrounded by her family.

Margot will always be in the hearts of her family. Her husband of almost 60 years, Gino Ziörjen (deceased 2017), her sister and niece Christiane and Dawn St. Aubin of Mississauga, and her children Thomas Ziörjen (deceased 2012) of Sechelt B.C., Jacqueline Ziörjen of Minden and Corry Ziörjen of Bracebridge. Oma will be missed dearly by Allana, Andrew and Zac, Matthew and Tristan and her great grand-baby-bear Rhea.

Margot was an incredibly strong, proud and determined individual who approached new adventures and learning with tenacity and fearlessness. She believed that you could do anything. Margot was a driving force with Dr. Jamieson to fundraise and build the Agnes Jamieson Gallery. Margot will also be remembered for her years of contribution to the Minden Times, her countless hours of prepping flowers and arrangements for the Minden Fair and the Horticultural Flower Show, and most recently her enjoyment of being part of the Minden Writers Group.

Margot was classy and refined, fastidious and thrifty, whimsical and quirky. Margot appreciated the minute details and beauty in nature. She worked tirelessly in her gardens stopping to smell each and every flower, forever looking for faeries and gnomes. Margot is certainly on her next journey tending to gardens, smelling the flowers, and dancing with those ever elusive faeries.

A heartfelt thank you to Nurse Tracy from Haliburton, and the amazing team of nurses and doctors at Ross Memorial Hospital in Lindsay, particularly Dr. Shepard, for their exceptional care and effort during Margot’s hospital stay.

Please join the family on Saturday, December 14th between 1:00 - 4:00 pm at Of Sound Body, 114 Bobcaygeon Rd. Minden, for a gathering and celebration of Margot’s life with a small tribute at 2:30pm.


In lieu of flowers, Memorial Donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association would be appreciated by the family and can be arranged through the Gordon A. Monk Funeral Home Ltd., P.O. Box 427, Minden K0M 2K0.
