Marguerite had a very full life throughout the years and was involved in so many different facets of the community - all worthwhile endeavors. Now she is happily joining her parents, husband, and other friends and relatives who can smile and tell her "well done." But we send our condolences to those she has left behind.

I am so sorry to hear of Maggie's passing. She graduated from Springville with my husband, Ken Smith. 1956 was such a special class and held together so long. We admired Maggie. She was always so enthusiastic about the things she was doing. She loved to play in her church and to sing and she and I would always be discussing those shared activities. We considered her a good friend. I will hold Maggie's family in prayer as you say goodbye to her. Rest in peace, dear friend, until we meet again.
