Such a great person to deal with – both professionally and personally.
Nearly 18 years when I was working at the paper to many years of talking privately, I found Margaret to be straight forward and pleasant to deal with.
I send my sympathy to all her family.

As young newlyweds to Castlemaine Margaret was the first to help us find a home and settle in.
Many times over a few decades she continued to do so. Always up for a chat to catch up, fond memories.
