Margaret Shulock, Sept. 27, 1949–Oct. 17, 2021

FRIENDSHIP - Margaret Ackerman Shulock, of 7652 Wideman Road, Friendship, passed away Sunday (Oct. 17, 2021) after a long illness.

Born Sept. 27, 1949, in Canastota, she was a daughter of Harold P. and Ruth D. Rogers Ackerman.

Margaret grew up in Canastota and attended SUNY State College at Buffalo for several years.

A talented artist, she lived in Friendship for many years, where she worked out of her studio. She loved music, animals and observing the rhythms of nature on her farmland as well as horses and the people who rode them.

Her single-panel comic first appeared in the Olean Times Herald. She later joined five other women cartoonists as Six Chix, a comic strip that appeared in major newspapers. From 2004-2014 she was also part of the Snowman Group, a group of artists who sold their work at local shows held twice a year. Margaret's greeting cards and wall calendars reflected her rural surroundings and witty sense of humor. She had friends from Maine to California that she kept in contact with.

She is survived by two brothers, Peter and Eugene Ackerman, and their families; and by three "sisters"-in-law, Patricia (Richard) Bence of Owego, Marjorie (Ronald) Kwiatkowski and Kimberly (Paul) DiCarlo of Lockport; and several nieces and nephews

She was predeceased by her parents; and her husband, James Shulock, formerly of Lockport.

There will be no services at her request.

Margaret, may the songs of Hank Williams, Bob Dylan and Chuck Berry accompany your spirit.
