I grew up in Bellevue Manor Wilmington DE near William duPont 's Bellevue and benefited from visiting tennis greats such as Maureen Connolly. MRSduPont has been an inspiration and I was able to play on her indoor court until snow collapsed the roof. She was a great influence in DE tennis.

I am so incredibly sad. I did not know of this until today. She was my hero growing up. I looked up to her as the real thing. She has left a legacy to one of the greatest tennis players that ever played the game but more importantly a champion with incredible integrity and humility. I am so blessed to have known her and very grateful to have a hero that put her mark on my journey. God Bless to Margaret, family and those close to her, she will be missed.

We live in the home that was owned by her sister-in-law, Marion duPont Scott in Camden, South Carolina. Margaret visited here many times and played tennis across the street. It is an unusual coincidence that we picked up the New York Times and noticed the obituary. Our condolences go to William and Pamela in Florida. Please preserve any Camden related keepsakes that may still exist. Margaret was part of the rich tapestry that was Camden, South Carolina.

Our sincerest condolensces to the duPont and Bloss families. The tennis world and El Paso community have lost a legend; she will be missed dearly by all who knew her.

The tennis world and El Paso has lost one of it's best. She will always be an inspiration to me and my tennis career. Her expertise in her weekly tennis articles were insightful for years. She will be sorely missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Margaret at this sad time. I never had the privilege of meeting Margaret in person but have visited with her over the phone several times over the years. I know the family has a marvelous
"Memory Bank" in their hearts and minds and will have the good fortune of drawing on those memories for years to come. Margaret definitely leaves behind a beautiful legacy for all of us to enjoy.
