Condolences to the family on Margarets passing. While our paths in life differed we had a bond of being Panther Valley High School classmates of 1971 and being members of a Polish church. May you rest in peace with the Lord.

Margie, you lived a selfless life helping others. You were always there for your parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Your kindness and concern for everyone else was evident in all that you did. We couldn't thank you enough for your caring way with our parents - your aunt and uncle, Sophie and Walter. They truly loved you and looked forward to your visits each week.
We were so glad to see that you finally had the opportunity to live a bit for yourself - doing your gardening, fixing up the house, and being a part of the church. You will be missed, and we pray that you are at peace with your parents and sister who went before you.

This is not goodbye, but until we meet again. I will cherish all the memories we had together. You will forever be in my heart and missed so much. I am at a loss for words except what you always told me, "God has a plan" and "it´ll all work out." You were the sweetest, kindest person I ever knew. I admire your kind-heartedness to never speak bad about anybody and be the truest friend to those around you. Thank you for always being there for me. Rest In Peace, my friend

We will certainly miss seeing you in the yard cutting grass and tending to the garden and flower beds. You certainly had a green thumb I always told you that. We always appreciated the veggies you gave us. That was so thoughtful.
Will be watching your grass grow
God Bless you Margret. Rest In Peace.
