Help please - Margaret Shaw, Calgary

[sami]

The Calgary Herald newspaper has quite a few issues from both 1961 (Donald's death year) and 1983 (Catherine's death year) online . If you can find the complete date of death for each of them you might be able to read obituaries for them.

Hope this link works for you:
