Margaret could be described as shy, sensitive, personable and generous with her time and resources. If you asked someone about Margaret they would tell you how she made them feel- loved, heard and cared for. She was a guitar player and singer and spent much of her time giving her talents to her church. Later in life, she became blind and spent her last years without sight, this challenge showed her strength in unimaginable ways, her spirit and faith never shaken but only strengthened.
