Our family has known Margaret (Margie) for many years. We just learned of her death and were so sorry to hear the news. She was a wonderful and caring person. She used to take our mother to West Virginia to visit friends whenever she was going to visit her parents who lived there. She called us often to check on us and it so brightened our day to hear from her. We will cherish our memories of her forever. She will always live in our hearts and be greatly missed by our family.

I met Margaret when she helped care for my mother over 20 years ago. She became a good friend and brought much laughter and good will into our lives. My wife and I will miss her letters and phone calls which always brightened our day. She was a fine lady who cared deeply for those around her.

Margaret was a tenant at Summercrest Apartments for many years. I had gotten the opportunity to get to know her over the years and always appreciated her humor and enjoyed our visits. She was a fireball and will be missed at Summercrest Apartments.
