Margaret Persson Obituary


Margaret "Margie" Wolff Persson, 80 years old, passed away on November 11, 2022. A proud San Diego native, she was the epitome of the words "Love," "Light," and "Laughter." She was a devoted Mother of three children, a loving Grandmother, a beloved Godmother, Aunt and Mother-in-law, and a good friend to so many. She had a deep faith and always stayed active in her community, leading the attendance office at Scripps Ranch High School until she retired, judging for the Scripps Ranch 4th of July parade, and advocating for St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church. Margie was part Nellie Bly, the famous investigative journalist for truth; part Amelia Earhart, the spirited adventurer; and part Peter Pan, currently headed to the "Second star to the right and straight on til morning."
Margie Persson loved to collect everything from Cabbage Patch Dolls and Beanie Babies to Star Wars glasses and Holiday Sweaters. She was also the caretaker of broken toys and lost boys. She saw the best in people and made them feel special. She loved to help others and was always there to listen and provide a soft shoulder to cry on.
Margie Persson will be greatly missed but is already busy at work as a Guardian Angel and helping St. Peter take attendance at the Pearly Gates.

I worked with Margie at Mission Bay High School back in the late 70's. She was such a good friend and mentor in our many chats in the break room! I feel the loss for her family. And I am happy she is taking attendance at the Pearly Gates! Love and sympathy
