The purpose of this site is to provide a view of Margaret that is more personal than her obituary (you can contribute photos and memories here). It also forms an outline of the Memorial Service at CUMC on July 24, 2024.
This photo loop was played before the service begins, and after the service.
Here is the video the church made of the Memorial Service.
Psalm 23 was Margaret's favorite scripture.
Here is an audio recording of the King's College Choir, singing
