Margaret (Mickey) you fought a long hard battle. May you now rest in peace. Thinking of you and your family.
Sincerely,

Margaret’s Family,
It was my honor to spend time with Margaret when we attended Hannah Circle together on Wednesday and again on Thursday when I took her to the hospital. I so enjoyed her story of how she met Jim at the roller skating rink. Never doubt how much she loved each of you. You all were her pride and joy. I regret that I am in HI enjoying a wedding celebration for our daughter, Abby. I will not be able to attend the service. Jesus welcomed her to Heaven with warm and open arms. Right behind him, second in line was her beloved, Jim.

My sympathy to the family. Daughter Patti and I attended St Clair Terrace together and Jim, Margaret and my husband Gene and I liked to talk about those days. RIP Margaret. 🙏
My sincere sympathy to Margaret’s family. She was a dear, long-time friend of my mother June Johnson. They enjoyed many good times during various First Presbyterian activities.
My Mom had Alzheimers for the last few years of her life. Margaret was very kind to visit Mom and those visits brightened Mom’s day. It was during this time, and through phone calls that I got to know Margaret. Margaret’s visits with my Mom often accompanied by mutual friend Pat Daye were greatly appreciated.
Margaret’s legacy seems to be one of kindness, compassion, and love shown to all who were blessed to know her.
Margaret’s was a life well-lived.
Nancy and all of the Conaway family,
So sorry to learn of your mom’s passing. I remember all the fun nights spent at your house as tweens and teens. Both of your folks were always so welcoming and put up with all our shenanigans. May you find peace in the midst of sadness.
