Margaret Feldman

I lost contact with the remarkable Margaret some years ago, after being blessed with her friendship from 1964 (when I moved to Ithaca) until she moved away. We worked together in the psychology department at Ithaca College, where she was a supportive and inspiring colleague -- a special friend when I was new in town and just finding my way. I'll never forget her kindness and enthusiasm -- nor the wonderful celebration that she arranged at the Unitarian Church of her husband Harold's life. My...

I took Margaret Feldman's social work class at Ithaca College in 1970. She told us most likely only a few of us would go on to become social workers, but that every one of us could choose to become involved citizens. That really stuck with me. I didn't become a social worker, but I chose to make a career in the non-profit sector and I am a community volunteer to this day, thanks in part to Dr. Feldman's conviction that each of us has it in our power to work to make the world a better...

DEAR DORETHY,DICK, LARRY AND ALL THEIR KIN,
MARGARET HAS BEEN MY HEROINE EVER SINCE I MET HER IN THE EARLY EIGHTIES. WE ROOMED TOGETHER AT NCFR AND GROVES, TRAVELED TOGETHER AND STAYED AT EACH OTHERS HOMES. EACH ENCOUNTER WAS A REVELATION FOR ME, OF HER INTELLIGENCE, GOODNESS, ENERGY LEVEL, IDEAS TO ENRICH OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES AS WELL AS HER OWN . I CANNOT THINK OF A SINGLE TRAIT SHE COULD HAVE IMPROVED ON. I HAVE BEEN MISSING HER THESE LAST FEW YEARS AND WILL CONTINUE TO MISS HER. AS i...

Dick, Dorothy and Larry~

I never got the chance to meet Margaret, but I can see that I owe her a debt of gratitude for the rights and social progress that I enjoy today.

Your mom was a very impressive individual, and I know that she is greatly missed.

My deepest sympathies,
Roxanne VanWormer

My father, a great friend of both Margaret and Harold always said: "you are the people in your life". Margaret was one of the special ones in mine. She left her mark academically, socially, internationally and personally and I am greatly blessed with her being in my life. Michael Bronfenbrenner, Seal Beach, CA

Dear Dorothy, John and Family,
I am so sorry to learn of your mother's passing. Although I did not know her, the description of her life indicates she must have been a very loving Mother. May her spirit stay strong in your hearts.

Dear Dorothy, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mother's passing. I remember when we were in Junior High, and it was Holloween as we dressed up in the Saris that came back from your stay in the East. She was so good to me, to allow me to join your family and to wear that beautiful outfit. May God lay a conforting hand on you and your brother's shoulders, and know that you are not alone. If I can be of any help, please contact me.

Dorothy, I was very saddened to read of the loss of your mother. I know how difficult this is as I just lost my Dad this past July. Please extend my thoughts and condolences to your entire family. My prayers are with you.
