Margaret (Margie) will be sorely missed by all who knew her, especially her children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren. She spent many hours Crocheting and Knitting, numerous items for family members and friends, including Intricate afghans, tablecloths, bed spreads, sweaters etc. They are now cherished memories of her love for each of them. Many enjoyed her Southern Fried Chicken, Baking Powder Biscuits, and Lemon Meringue Pie. Everyone was always welcome at her table, there was always room for one more. She was proud of her family and enjoyed all the time spent with them. She especially enjoyed her garden, which seems to grow by leaps and bounds; she even has some of the neighbor's plants jumping the fence to be a part of her garden. She enjoyed Country & Western Music and used to go and listen to her husband, Harvey and his brothers band "The Melody Boys" at The Time Out Bar in Worcester, New York every Saturday Night.
