Mom was born in Spiritwood, Saskatchewan in 1931, to Steve and Mary Szabo. They were immigrants from Hungary and had four children. The land was poor, the living was hard, and the stories were many, and after some years, they called it quits and moved to Gladstone, Manitoba. There she met the love of her life, Frank Hando. They loved and raised six kids – Ken (Sheree), Garry, Ricky, Shirley (Jim), Debby (Charlie), and Randy (Doris). She has numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren.
If you knew mom, you’d have known a kind, happy, and beautiful lady who worked hard to give all of us kids a decent upbringing, and we thank you for that, and for the feeling of always being loved. It’s an important building block given to us and meant to be shared with family and friends.
Thank you for everything mom and we already miss you so much.
One more thing, last but definitely not least, I must mention the amazing care and love and compassion from the staff at Princess Court. Mom felt the love from everyone there, as did our family, and I’ll never forget it, thank you.

November 26, 2024 at 4:27 amI am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Hando’s passing. I am Angela Hando’s friend. I remember the Hando families when they lived in the side by side duplexes in Kenora. Ken used to come to Lakeside Park in his boat. What a beautiful picture of Margaret. Sending heartfelt condolences to the entire Hando family. Marjorie Zimmer (nee Drew), Kenora, ON

November 28, 2024 at 11:15 pmShirley, Debbie and the boys: I am so sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. A few years ago, I had the pleasure of sharing a room with her at the Dryden Hospital. She was friendly, funny, and I enjoyed her company. although I didn’t know her last name. One day, the curtains were pulled around our beds and I heard a voice that I was sure I knew. Sure enough, Debbie had come to visit and I was finally introduced to Mrs. Hando. Shirley and I had gone to school together when I lived in Ear Falls, but she lived “uptown” and we lived in the first house in town in what was then called “Skunk Hollow” so I didn’t often get to see Mrs. Hando. Sharing a room with her was very pleasant and made my stay seem to go faster. She must have been a wonderful mother and I’m sure you have many good memories to comfort you.
