A wonderful Lady

       I knew Margaret from her work at Kutztown University.  She was a good worker, efficient and pleasant, and a very kind person.  Margaret was very well thought of and deeply missed when she retired.  May she              Rest In Peace!  

With my deepest sympathy to all her family during this time of loss,      Lisa Ladd-Kidder

Kind neighbor

Margaret was my neighbor for 28 years. She always had a kind word, and kept beautiful flowers in her yard that brightened up our neighborhood. She always had a smile or a story. She loved her family and her grandson Ryan, who spent a lot of time at her house - his memory is also a blessing for our little corner of town. I will remember my kids catching butterflies in her yard, and will miss waving at her across the allley. May Margaret Rest In Peace.
