Margaret Bamberger

Dear J. David and family
Deanne and I were deeply saddened to learn of Margaret's passing. She was an extraordinary lady of grace and courage who had such a positive impact on the lives of so many. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. May the Lord's blessings be with you and may He strengthen and comfort you in the days ahead.

I first met Margaret in Austin in the early 90s on a boat in Town Lake . I was struck by her naturalness, her candor, her youthful exuberance, her refined beauty. We immediately hit it off, and I have always counted her one of my favorite people. We left Austin a few years ago, but we still cherish wonderful memories of Margaret and J. David at their ranch, traveling together in Guatemala, and especially sharing a walk with Jane Goodall. Margaret was a fine example of how to face illness...

Having known Margaret for many, many years now, just the thought of her no longer being a part of our waking world is a tremendous loss. She has always been a constant, even and soulful friend to Gary and I.
She was on hand for many family events surrounding our lives and no doubt has a library of photos dating us back 26+ years.

My heart is filled with sorrow for those who will miss her but...

Mr. Bamberger and family,

Words can not express the sorrow we feel at the loss of Margaret Bamberger. Her love of life and the sharing of that love with our students will be forever missed. Although we will miss her gracious smile and passion for our students and their education, we know that she is with God and continuing the work with Him is spreading joy and happiness. She will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

What a courageous woman........Margaret Bamberger will live on through all of her amazing conservation efforts at the ranch and in the hearts of all who were fortunate to know her.
David, you are in our prayers - may God comfort you now and always.

Unlike the low impact environmental strategies she taught, Margaret was a very high impact person who left countless traces and will be remembered for as long as there are memories.

She was a wonderful woman; I feel privileged to have known her and shared family with her.
