Dear Margaret, We miss you and relish the time we had together with you and Ralph. We happily remember Ralph hanging my dad's pictures in our dining room when we were neighbors in Woodinville, the darkest place on earth. We loved all your homes and decorating talent, with all your pictures hung tastefully (by Ralph) all over your house! We loved visiting you in Arizona and still remember the wonderful grapefruits you grew by your pool and gave us to take on our camping trip. We grieved...

We lost contact with Aunt Maggie after she moved to Portland. We just recently heard she had passed. Aunt Maggie was always the life of the party. I married into the family when I married Ralph's nephew, Earl Newton Jr., but she always made me feel like "her niece". She and Uncle Ralph were wonderful people. Much love, Auntie!

Margaret, you always were a great friend. I loved it when you lived on the same street as we did for awhile, and when you sold our home when we moved to three tree point. It was a difficult time for home sales and interest rates were 18%. But you and Ralphy were on it and worked tirelessly to get our Woodinville home sold............at a profit! We loved visiting you in Arizona and were so sad when Ralph left our world. Please know we are happy you are now together again. We love you...

Newtons and Edgetts had some great times together. Marv would have originally known Margaret from their Portland sales days but they both ended up in Seattle. If I'm not mistaken, she was the first woman Yellow Pages Sales Manager. We were lucky enough to share their hospitality when she and Ralph lived in/on Hawaii. Such a warm, fun lady.
