Marguerite was such a special woman to know. She had such a sense of community and consistently showed it, even as it dwindles in the world today. Anyone in a service position in the town of Searsport received a batch of homemade peanut butter fudge every Christmas as a thank you for all they do. She decorated the community room for holidays in the apartment building she lived in for every holiday even as she lived into her 90s. She had so much spunk and never wasted a moment. Even when I got the chance to visit this passed Christmas when I was in town she was the epitome of hospitable; offering my husband a piece of the ever famous Christmas fudge, swooning over my 5 month old and just as sharp as I ever remember, reciting facts from her "little black book". She taught me to crochet, she taught me about patience, and she taught me a sense of community and to care for those around me. She was a woman of great faith and a pillar of morality. The town of Searsport was so incredibly lucky to have her in their community and I was even more lucky to have her as a role model.
