She was always kind to me when I was a latchkey kid living next door.

It was with shock and sadness that I learned of Margaret's passing. For all the time I knew her (over 25 years), she served the community at large and the Woodside family. Friendly, positive, with generosity and great good sense. A woman rightfully appreciated and admired. My deepest condolences to her family. May God comfort you.

Margaret was such a blessing and encouragement to me when we lived in Silver Spring. She helped the young women serve alongside UMW, both teaching us and letting us do things our way. I still carry her spirit of joyful service and balance of tradition/innovation with me.

Margaret was so dear to me and my daughter Caitlin. Throughout our time at Woodside UMC she nurtured us through rough times, but more than that she helped us laugh and enjoy the fellowship and family we so fondly remember. We treasure her friendship and easy nature. Sending our heartfelt love and prayers to all her family.

February 19, 2018

My condolences to the family. May the peace of God and the fond memories you cherish comfort and sustain you in your time of need.
