Margaret was the most generous person and known for her huge heart. She loved to cook and binge watch her favorite television show especially her Turkish soap operas. While she technically had one son, she was a mother to many, many more by caring and nurturing the people and the pets in her life. Any room she was in her presence was known by her infectious laughter. Her sharp wit, love of family, compassion for those less fortunate and devotion to her faith in God were legendary. Even in her final moments, she was still giving, donating her kidneys to help others.
Margaret will be forever loved and cherished by all who knew her. We were all made better because she was in this world, so although her passing brings us such sadness let's celebrate her kindness, generosity and her beautiful life in our hearts.
