Beloved sister of Peter, Judith and Steve (twin), and all of their whānau. Loved partner of Sandy/Sandra McCallum for 32 years, loved by Andy & Eva Reid and Tony & Selena Reid, adored Grand Marg of Kea, Lilly, Spencer and Leo Reid, and loving sister-in-law of Glenda McCallum and Ron Beernink. Marg was loved and admired by her many friends and colleagues. During her 47 year teaching career, Marg touched the lives of so many tamariki and their whānau.
