Margaret Fiscarelli

Thinking of Margaret with fond memories.

Margaret will always hold a special place in my heart. She had the ability to see the abstract concept all the way to the detail level. Her insistence on accuracy and quality was matched by none. She also touched the human side in very positive ways. One only had to pay attention.
I have thought of her many times over the years. She is someone I am really glad to have known.

I worked for Mrs. Fiscarelli in the Catalog Dept. of the OSU libraries from December 1958 until the Fall of 1962. She was a wonderful person to work for - and with. I will always remember her and her many kindnesses!

Charles Pickard, Columbus (OSU, 1963)

I met Margaret in 1977 when I was a newly hired staff member in the OSU Library system. I was continually impressed by her work ethic and her sincerity. She had a clear head and a direct way of expressing her thoughts. We were also COTA-companions, riding a bus together to and from our jobs at the university; and I liked her wry sense of humor. I have thought about her now and then over the intervening years, and I will always value her memory as a colleague.

Margaret worked at the Ohio State University Libraries for many years. I learned from her that we couldn't help students and other patrons unless the catalog was accurate--really accurate! She devoted many years of her life to that goal. I fondly remember the way she would tilt her head and smile as she listened to others. She was a great mentor. Condolences to her family. Thank you, Margaret.

Dear Margaret, You are forever in our hearts. Thank you for all the love and happiness you gave to us.
Love from Jerry and Charlene Mooney
