Much loved mother of Sheila Priest, Laurie Beauclair, Dana Phillips, and Kim White, and mother-in-law to Arthur Priest and George White. Cherished Grandmother of Aidan Phillips Morris, Jason, Ryan, and Kira White, Jamie and Lisa Priest, and Tara, John, and Melanie Beauclair. Dear sister of the late Jean Wright and the late Mary Emmett. Margaret lived a long and full life as a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
