We offer our deepest condolences on the passing of Margaret. We met Margaret at GreenRidge housing and became neighbors. Her passing was sad to hear. While talking with her she would talk about her love for her children and her religion. Sorry for your loss

Margaret was such a sweet, amazing lady. I only wish I had known her longer. Even though her time serving our church was short, the whole congregation (at First United Presbyterian, Peckville) loved her and will miss her very much. My deepest sympathy to her family.
