Margaret was a loving wife, mother and grandmother first and foremost.  She loved her family and friends, helping others, writing letters, and ice cream.  Friends, even those she just met, were always welcomed into her home with open arms and her beautiful smile. She offered tea, company, and a sympathetic ear at her kitchen table.
