Margot answered God’s call on September 8 with husband John at her side after a long illness. 

Margot was born 29 July 1946 to the late Austin Corbett and Ruth Bogle in Saint John NB Canada. She was their only child however her dearest friend Bonnie Rogers (Gregg) was born 11 day earlier in the same delivery room and was the sister she didn’t have. She attended Saint John Vocational High School where she was active in Student council. As a freshman she met John Dickie a senior. They married following John’s graduation from Engineering school and moved to Seattle where Margot worked in a Bank and John joined Boeing. Following 3 years in Miami they relocated to Montreal for 28 years where John was with Air Canada. 

While raising her family in Montreal she was busy launching 3 musical theater organizations for a local high school, university and her church. She produced the first production of the Musical Anne of Green Gables outside of Prince Edward Island in Hong Kong. She also was on the Board of Montreal Playwriters Workshop. 

John’s career in aviation took them to Washington DC where Margot was the President of the Canadian Club of Washington DC.

Margot and John were cofounders of a birthday group in Dallas TX with 5 couples having the same birthday as Margot and they met for 38 years to celebrate. She loved to entertain and was famous for her Frogmore Stew.
