She was just a wonderful lady, loved her family and friends and a pleasure to work with, always a smile on her face.

I worked with Margaret at LMH for the entire time that she worked there. We shared a lot of experiences over the years. She was always concerned about people and always ready to share a story of her kids and grandkids, of whom she was so proud... I am very saddened at her passing. My prayers go out to her family during this difficult time.

I will truly miss Margaret. She was a great co worker and a friend. We shared lots of experiences, but she always loved talking about her family. She was very dedicated first to her family, but also to Lodi Memorial Hospital. It also takes a special person to work the night shift, and Margaret was a very special person. I will miss her. My thoughts and prayers go to her family.

Mark- I was saddened to see the passing of your mother Margaret. I saw her a couple of times in the past few years and we shared stories of the St. Annes days...A great lady, she will be missed.

Please accept our deepest sympathies on the passing of Margaret, whom we remember being "Marg" to her sisters and brothers. Life speeds by too quickly, but as we read about her today, it is clear she lived hers fully and lovingly, and will be deeply missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you in this difficult time.

My thoughts and prayers are being sent to Margaret's family as they are having to deal with the loss of their loved one.
I was deeply shocked and saddened to hear the news of her passing from our presence. I will truly miss seeing her smiling face at various places around town. I really enjoyed working with her at LMH on the night shift. She was a very dedicated,hard working supervisor. It was a pleasure to be a part of her staff. I was so happy that she was able to move to a secure place and travel. She seemed to enjoy her short retirement. Now I will join you by having memories to keep her close.
Love and Best Wishes,

Mark, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I just loved her and she truly loved you. When I would see her at the restaurant she would always comment on what "the boys were doing today". Possibly you and Chris were golfing or at Pebble Beach or Napa, or just having lunch. She also would keep me updated on your boys. How they were growing. I will truely miss seeing her at lunch. Just a couple of weeks ago she brought up the Hawaii trip right before Chris got married. She always had a smile when talking about her family. She was a wonderful person and proud to be your Mother. Enjoy the memories as she did. Love Nancy

My condolences to Margaret's Family. As a former Supervisor LMH I had many occasions to need her services, especially during the NOC hours. She was always a joy to work and visit with and so knowledgeable of procedures there. Usually I would see her when I came in..and she was just leaving but she was always cheerful even after working long night hours.
