She will be missed by her family, her husband Maurice, her children, James (Marie-José LeBlanc) and Margaret (John Price), her grandchildren Dominique, Thomas, Mae, Charlotte and her great-granddaughter Margot. She will be remembered as a physician, teacher, eminent researcher and above all mentor and role model to many people in many countries.  Dr. Becklake grew up in South Africa, studied medicine in Johannesburg and after postgraduate training in London, worked at the University of the Witwatersrand and the Miners Silicosis Bureau where she studied the effects of dust inhalation on workers in the gold mines. In 1957 she immigrated with her family to Montreal and worked at McGill University in the Departments of Medicine and Epidemiology, the Montreal Chest Hospital and the Royal Victoria Hospital. Her widely published research brought her international recognition. Her numerous awards include the Order of Canada and the Order of Québec. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Becklake
