Great woman family friend, educator, swimmer, lovely to know. God bless your spirit

my heart is broken to know that Mrs. Drake was right here in Va. My condolences to Edwin, Pat and the girls. May God bring comfort to your hearts knowing that she is resting in the masters arms.
Mrs. Drake was truly an angel on earth.

Margaret Drake was a supervisor for Health and Physical Education for Norfolk Public Schools. It was in that capacity that I knew her and worked with her during the 80's.

I loved the conversations that I had with her because she had such wisdom. I do believe that God puts people in your life at different times for a reason and I am thankful that HE put...

Margaret and I worked together for several years in administration for Norfolk City Schools.

There aren't enough wonderful adjectives to describe Margaret. A few of them might describe her Intelligence, caring ways, happy personality and beauty.

One personal memory was the trips we took each summer to Harrisonburg to be "Big City Consultants" to the Migrant Program.

Another memory was the trip to Arizona to learn new ways of...
