My mother, Ruth Davis, taught at East Belfast School in the 1960s and 1970s where Margaret was teaching and had taught for years. My mother spoke fondly of Margaret as being a wonderful teacher, a support to her and her friend. I remembered my mother talking about Margaret and saying "that woman can do and does do everything!" A few years ago I read a lovely piece in a local paper highlighting Margaret and how active and capable she was and I think she was 100 years old at the time! Her life sounded like a life well lived. She certainly impacted many student's lives in positive ways over her decades of teaching.
My sincere condolences to her family. Having someone in your life for that long and having to say goodbye, is a very hard thing to do. Living 103 years is though something to celebrate.
