Margaret was a class by herself. She was generous, thoughtful, kind and a good friend. We enjoyed working with Margaret at the Palmer Food Share. May she rest in peace.

So sorry to hear or Margaret´s passing. As former Palmer residents and neighbors, we remember her as a beautiful, caring and loving person. But most of all, she was a class act!

I met Margaret back in the 70's when she worked at PHS in the office. She was always so kind to me and would make me a cup of tea every time I came into the building . She had it all set to go when she knew I was going to arrive. She always had a sweet smile on her face and greeted everyone like a long lost friend. I was sorry to hear of her passing and would like to extend my thoughts to her family. She loved walking with Etta after school ! May your memories help to keep her alive in your...
