Margaret was a significant role model in my life. We met when I was 17, worked together for a few years and remained firm friends thereafter. Always laughing. Always enjoying herself. Inspiring others. A true leader. I will miss Margaret very much. Sincere condolences to all the family xx …

For Margaret, my wonderful friend. We met in 1992, I think, through work, I’d seen an advert in the local paper and gave you a call. We hit it off instantly, and we became really good friends very quickly. We spent many nights at Ritzy’s in Dunstable, dancing the night away. We also spent lots of time out and about with the children, mine were a bit younger (5 & 3) when we met, but Susanne and Craig were very patient with them, I remember your face so well when during a trip to Whipsnade, I had my face painted as a leopard, along with Susanne, Paul and Stacey! We laughed a lot, comforted each other at times, and although we hadn’t seen much of each other in recent years, we always knew we had each other. Sleep tight, Heaven is no longer missing an angel (in the words of Tavares) you have arrived ❤️ Love you always xxx  …

I first met Margaret about 18 years ago when I started Ceroc dance classes. We became friends and started going to dances together at weekends taking it in turns to drive to different venues.  We used to cause confusion when we met people and introduced ourselves, both being called Margaret.  Over the years we went on many weekenders in this country and on dance holidays together abroad.  During those weekends and holidays, especially if we were abroad, we’d usually end the night sitting on the bed or the balcony drinking Baileys and chatting into the early hours. We always seemed to have so much to talk about!  Margaret was good fun to be with and always happy and smiling. We did a lot of dancing over the years, had lots of laughs and good times and made many friends along the way.  I was so lucky to meet her when I did and have her in my life.  She was a good friend to me, I hope I was a good friend to her R.I.P. Margaret, ‘keep dancing’ up there in heaven.            …

I got to know Margaret about 9 years ago through our mutual friend Dave, and dancing ceroc. She was so easy to talk to and full of fun. The last time I saw her, we spent some time together in the spa at Potters in February and she talked so enthusiastically about the twins. She clearly idolised them. This photo was taken at the ceroc UV party at Potters. She will be missed terribly. RIP Margaret. Xx …

I have known Margaret for over 40 year as part of the Julius Gardens gang. There are so many wonderful memories we have all enjoyed over the years. One being our Julius Gardens gang girly weekend in Norfolk. Margaret, Trina and myself shared a chalet, it was non stop laughter singing and dancing . Well to be honest Margaret was dancing fantastic as she always did, as for Trina and myself we tried our best. I also remember Margaret knitting my daughter Michele a lovely pink loop cardigan, she never wanted to take it off. Margaret was the life and soul of our gang and she will be missed but never forgotten. RIP Margaret and keep dancing. love Theresa and David xx …

Trina Newbury

I met Mag in 1974, she moved next door in Julius gardens when she moved down from Haltwhistle. We hit it off straight away and she was the best friend and neighbour. When I was pregnant with my twins I craved chocolate and she used to make me her delicious chocolate cake which she had to keep in her fridge as I would have eaten the lot in one go. I used to sneak in cut myself a piece and she would shout. “Is that you Trina” yeh I’d say “Just getting cake”. We did laugh about it for years after. She helped me when I had my twins in 1977. She used to come straight in to me from work (after putting her pressure cooker dinner on) to help me feed the babies and have a coffee. It got I was clock watching around 5.30 waiting for her to come in. She was my sanctuary. She loved my children Callum , Fraser and Gina . She was so good to them. Mag knitted beautiful outfits in pink and blue for them. We have been great friends all these years. I used to stay over and we would put …

I have known Margaret for 40+ ýears, we lived opposite one another in Julius gdns.Along with Trina, Jaqui, Gill, maria, Theresa and Joan we became the Julius gang.All our kids played with one another in one of the gardens, while we drank coffee and ate a light lunch.This would be after we had weighed ourselves, kidding no one that we were our very own weight watchers club.Coffee soon turned into sharing a glass or two of wine, diets were soon forgotton. We went on to sharing many happy occassions together as a group.Partys,Bbq’s, meals at each others houses, and ladies only nights out.Margaret was always the life and soul of the party, very bubbly,chatty with a great sense of humour how we will miss that laugh.We will always remember Mags, she will never be forgotton.The Julius gang will go on and Mags will always be with us in spirit,we will raise a glass in her memory every time we meet.Keep danceing my dear friend and God bless.xxxx    …

What a fabulous Mum Margaret was to Susanne. One of my best memories is when she came out to see us on our travels in Thailand. Although she was not happy to ‘slum it’ like us (she didn’t need to!) she was keen to join us on all of our escapades visiting temples, hot tubs under the stars, riding Tuk Tuks and some very questionable Thai ‘entertainment’. She certainly had a good zest for life and a great sense of humour;  I will miss her chatty personality and the way that she was so approachable. She shared many interesting stories with me over the years.  She will be very dearly missed. …

I met Margaret when I started doing the Wednesday evening core stability class at the gym. I had already heard about  Margaret from my daughter Sam. Margaret was a lovely lady and we immediately became friends.  We had our favourite spots, so whoever arrived first would put a mat down for the others. The 3 of us then decided to have a go at zumba, which Margaret loved. Then yoga and pilates.  Margaret loved all of her family, and would show us pictures of the grandchildren and great grandchild. She was so proud of all of you.  It’s nearly a month since we lost you, and I still can’t believe that you are no longer here. I’ll miss seeing you. Love Wendy  …
