Margaret was an ultimate clubwoman and volunteer. Loyal to the cause and dedicated to the future of GFWC, the General Federation of Women's Clubs. I have no doubt that she was the same in other areas of her volunteer life! She will be remembered fondly!

Margaret was a lovely lady. A long-time neighbor and friend to my late mother, Catherine Robinson, it was a joy to know both Margaret and John.
