I met Margaret through bridge. She approached both the game and her opponents with a sense of joy in what she was doing.  I was a beginner and very much daunted by the highly experienced players against whom I had to play. Margaret was up there with them, but whereas some were quite harsh and unforgiving, she was always cheerful and didactic in a genuinely caring and helpful way.  She offered to sell me some of her points! I got to know her a little better when face to face games resumed after Covid and we would go out for a drink and snack afterwards, but unfortunately I never got to partner her at the table. 

Margaret was a truly lovely person.  She will be sorely missed.  My sincere condolences to all her family.  

Margaret valued her family above all else and has left all of them an incredible legacy of love by example. To have been her friend, was to have been blessed. She valued friendships and committed to them with an unfailing loyalty. I am so thankful that our paths crossed along our life journeys and I will hold fast my many memories of our shared friendship until we meet again….

My thoughts and prayers are with Dave, Michelle, Jen and all of her family. You all held her up in your love and support until her final moments. Peace will come to your hearts.
