Margaret Sophia was born February 3, 1899, into a coal mining family in Willington, Durham, England. They immigrated to Canada in 1924. Margaret worked for four years as a nanny and cook at the First United Church in Vancouver. She married Eskil Kilian Johnson on September 3, 1928 at this church. The couple lived on a farm in Langley's Willoughby area for the rest of their lives, and had two children: Alice, their biological child, and Brian, adopted. Margaret knitted and sewed for the Red Cross in a youth group that called themselves the "Willoughby Willing War Workers" during the war, and she was made a life member of the Red Cross. She was active in the Willoughby United Church as CGIT leader, Sunday school superintendent, as a member of the church board, and was a life member of the Langley Prairie Women's Institute. She often took First Nations students into her home for a number of years who were completing their schooling. Margaret died on July 8, 1981 at the age of 82.
