A message from Margaret's husband, David Clark, was received Thursday evening, September 9, 2010, with the following information regarding Margaret's untimely death.  His contact is deeply appreciated by the LHS Class of 1961.

 

I have some sad news for you and the other members of LHS class of 1961.  Margaret died early on Wednesday morning at Good Samaritan Hospital. She had contracted a very aggressive infection that came on her over the Labor Day weekend and by the time I was able to get her to the Intensive Care Unit it was shutting down her vital organs faster than the antibiotics could do their job.
