We knew Margaret when she worked at Orange County Community College. She was a wonderful friend. We have so many fond memories of her and her golden retriever. We are so sorry we lost contact with her when she moved back to Canada. She was a caring person and a good friend. We wish we had met her daughter. Our sincere condolences. Bob and Mary Lou Deitrich

With everything going on in the world right now- I was googling your name to see if I can get in touch with you and get your take on it.
Your class was the first time my eyes were really opened up to these issues on a different level. You had so much knowledge and enthusiasm on the topic.
Condolences to your family and friends.

From my years teaching in the 1970's with Margaret in New York, the the many conferences we shared the podium, to my lively interactions with her family and friends, Margaret was the consummate academic, renowned lecturer, and most welcoming host. Decades have passed since we first met, but we never lost contact with one another, sharing precious moments debating organized crime perspectives or imbibing in a glass of fine wine while opining over the state of political affairs around the world. Margaret loved life and all that it had to offer. Her travels throughout the world provided her, and ultimately those she taught or befriended with a grasp on global issues that only added to the richness of our discussions. She will be missed in the field of organized crime, but her legacy will live on. To my God-daughter Nhai, and her sisters Bernice and Christine, my deepest sympathy. Freddie Martens

On the basis of mutual intellectual interests, I had the pleasure of conversing with Margaret on many occasions. She was a learned, witty, down to earth soul whose legacy will live on based on the lives she touched, the students she taught and the fine scholarly work she produced. In my view, her life is a stellar example, to me and others, of the importance of maximizing the value of our limited time on Earth.

Margaret was a delightful person. Though we were not in contact in recent years, I often thought of her humour and spirit. We went to NYC for the bicentennial and had a grand time. Any time spent with Margaret was memorable. She spoke to me so movingly about her daughter. I won't forget that.

A wonderful and loyal friend for nearly 40 years. I met Margaret at the Centre of Criminology University of Toronto. Many memories of summer nights listening to blues music in the Annexe with a beer in hand. A hospitable host on subsequent trips to TO to me and my family. Never a dull moment with Margaret!

Margaret was a lively person who stayed consistent to her beliefs and played an important role in organised and white-collar crime research and policy in Canada. We all have to move on some time but she left a very positive mark on the world around her.

I had great respect for many of Margaret's law enforcement strategies and enjoyed many a debate over a glass of wine at a conference and in particular the Cambridge Symposium on Economic Crime. She was a lady to be reckoned with and a great dancer and lover of life! She will be missed by many!

I am very sorry to learn of Margaret's death. We were colleagues in the 1980's in Ottawa and then shared many dinners and conversations together when I was in town after she had moved to Toronto. We lost touch in recent years and I was not aware she was ill. A wonderful person and a great loss.
