Margaret was a wonderful neighbor and friend. We have a well worn trail from her house to ours. Mike and I often walked over to talk to her and Art. She always asked us about our boys and listened as we lamented over the trials of parenting, always offering comforting words and a hug. We will miss our sweet neighbor and we will not neglect our trail, as we will continue to visit our other sweet neighbor, Art.

Margaret Prell was a beautiful soul. She was one of the best supervisors at NFC back in the 90s and showed genuine cared for her employees. Margaret will be missed and heaven has truly gained an angel.
