Hi Janine, and family, So sorry to hear of Margarets passing. We only found out the weekend after her funeral so missed out catching up with you guys. I guess she will be enjoying an eternal square dance with Alan, Noel & Phyllis where ever they all are from now on. She was a special lady and a great friend to mum. All the best to you all.
Best Regards Alan & Sue White

So sorry to read of Marg's passing. A wonderful lady who gave her time and energy for a lot of good causes. She loved Country Music and spent many years on committees of various clubs. She will be missed by many. Our thoughts are with the family.

My condolences to family and friends.
So many memories shared over the years with Aunty Margaret,Alan, Rodney and myself, good times and ? as is life. I'll miss our catch-ups and putting the world to rights. You loved your garden, vegy patch. Sewing,knitting etc were gifted and enjoyed by many. I remember all those Peggy squares you knitted in the car from Cairns to Caloundra. Country music played a big part in your life in later years.
Rest peacefully Aunty Margaret, will miss you. XX.

Dearest Marg, words can't express the sadness we are all feeling since you left us. Thank you for always being so caring, supportive and genuinely interested in hearing about what Georgia and Casey have been doing. We have appreciated the knitting, visits down to celebrate birthdays, the support and love you gave during the good and and hard times, and learning a new and faster way to cook Mac n cheese! You were an amazing lady and we will continue to speak your name and remember you with love.
Rest In Love Marg, love you
