Kurt, Tina, Travis, and families, we want to send our condolences to you all on the death of Margaret. What a woman. I don't think I have ever met anyone who was such a strong fighter. Not many could have gone through all she went through and come back in strong and fighting spirit. I am sorry that with the confinement of everyone, that her life could not be honored by anyone other that immediate family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

She was the best basketball coach anyone could ever have ! In those days she was "Miss Antill" and had not married yet. I remember my days playing and I once ran into her as an adult in a store and she still recalled those days and me too glad to say. Then, as a teacher and when I was older she ended up working at the same school where I taught. She was a great person and I will never ever forget her. May God be with you all.
