To my Dear Friend Margaret,You are thought of often...your kindness, generosity, your wonderful sense of humor and smile.!
You are missed very much  Dear friend...
Know you are in our hearts...you are missed in so many ways

I met Margaret when she  came to St. Louis. We remained friends when she moved to Huntsville. She was a joy to be around. I will miss her.

I met Ms Margaret in 2015 while working in Kabul Afghanistan. She is one of the most giving persons I have ever known. She would always greet me with a smile and “girl what’s going on”.  You will be truly missed! Rest In Peace my sister. Blessings and much love to the family.

My condolences to Margaret's friends and family; I am deeply saddened by the news of her passing. She's truly a great lady, always ready with a smile and info you need to know. You will be missed Margaret, peace be with you.

Margaret Gibson, AKA Sasha Fierce was an amazing woman. I truly enjoyed our conversations.  I met Margaret at Camp Eggers in Kabul Afghanistan and would go on to work for the same company for a few years.  She was definitely a breath of fresh air and a ray of sunshine.  She was a classy lady.  I just had to be in her presences  whenever I saw her around camp.  I wanted to hear what she had to say. I didn’t know she was born in Raleigh NC where I presently live. It makes me feel even closer to her. She will truly be missed but not forgotten. 

God bless you Margaret! 

I am so shocked we lost one of our family members. I met Margaret in 2017 when we worked together in HKIA Afghanistan. Margaret became a dear friend the same day, her smile her caring way for everyone...you felt at home. We had a small family in Afghanistan being away from home and Margaret was the head of the family! Everyone Margaret met felt at ease as if you'd know her for years.
God Bless you Margaret....you are missed more than you know. Heaven gained a new Angel! Rest in Peace Dear Friend....I still can't believe it.

Ms Margaret, I truly enjoyed your kind smile and warm heart for the two years we worked together in Kabul. You will be missed, but heaven got an angel.

I served with Miss Margaret in Afghanistan in 2018. She was one of the kindest souls and was everyone’s mother away from home. Every time I came into the office, she always asked me did I want something to eat. She always thought of others before herself. She was a special lady that served selflessly. God bless her! Heaven got an angel way too soon.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Margaret's passing.  How does a fierce, brave and utterly free spirit like that take such a sudden leave? Working together in a war zone tends to make the bonds of friendship stronger. It also makes the loss that much harder to accept. 

I already miss the years (that's right, years) we spent working together and the fond memories that were made. Being away from our homes and families was much easier to bear because we had our own family in Kabul and we just lost the head.

God bless you, Margaret and rest in peace. Sbogum.

I met Margaret in 2012 at Camp Eggers and continued to work with her there after. She was always very stylish so I started calling her Sasha Fierce.  Margaret was so full of joy and lived life to the fullest. I teased her that I wanted to be like her when I grew up. An infectious spirit that lit up any place. I am saddened by her passing but grateful to have known her. I am praying for her husband, family, and friends. 

I met Margaret in 2017 when I arrived in Kabal.  From the time I entered the building and smelt her cooking, I felt I had never left home.  She made everyone in the office feel loved with a piece of home that we all needed and shared.  Thank you for having blessed us with your precious smile making each day a lot easier.  We all will miss you and I know your  smile will be forever in our minds and our hearts.  Blessed to have known you.

Rest In Peace Margaret. Thank you for your kind friendship and support to the many foreign troops working with the US military during our service together in Afghanistan. Condolences to your family and friends at this difficult time.

Ms. Margaret and I served in Afghanistan together from 2016-2019.  Ms. Margaret, you were such a beautiful spirit and a breath of fresh air.  You always spoke life into me and lived life to its fullest.  You will never be forgotten.  May you rest in peace.

Ms. Margaret was such a kind and gentile soul.  I was deployed with her as part of EF 5.1 in Kabul, Afghanistan.  She was so nice and always had a smile on her face.  She would do her best to make us all feel at home.  She would cook the most amazing food with very little resources l.  She would also gave me sage like advice on what jewelry to buy for my wife from the bazaar.  My condolences go out to her family as she is someone that will be missed.

Margaret always asked how my mom was doing even though they never met. She took numerous photos of base events. She and I spoke every time our paths crossed. Always happy and caring. Such sad news!

I met Margaret during her deployment in Afghanistan 2018. She always smiling and would light up the darkest of days. A truly lovely lady. 

I had the honor of serving with Ms. Margaret in Afghanistan in 2018.  From the very moment I met her, I knew that she was a gift from God.  She was always taking care of everyone around her and she was known throughout the base for her cooking.  She showed her love and compassion for people through her acts of service and kindness.  Ms. Margaret was a blessing to me and so many others.  My heart is heavy knowing that she’s no longer with us here on earth.  I’m honored to have been in her life and count myself lucky to have been known by her.  Her loss is being felt around the world because that’s the impact that she made.  We love you Ms. Margaret.  

I served with Margaret in Afghanistan in 2018-2019. I always loved seeing her around the compound, with her big smile and even bigger heart. And good gravy, did she know gravy! I worked in the building next door and I always knew when she was cooking up one thing delicious, because I could smell it all the way over there in my tin can! I told her I loved chili Mac and sure enough, she made chili Mac one day! Such a sweet lady who took care of everyone. I’m honored to have known her. 

To Ms. Margaret’s family. Your mother and sister was a very kind WOMAN, she loved and cared for everyone in her presence. I had the honor and privilege to serve with Ms. Margaret in Kabul, Afghanistan under Combined Security Transition Command Afghanistan from 2018 to 2019 and she was the mother of our Directorate and command.  Always happy that she is around because of the way she made everyone feels in her presence. We all know Ms Margaret’s cooking on Tuesday, I loved and our commanding General MG Fountan then LTG Rainy as well. Ms Margaret was the angel and God Servants between us, I knew and felt every time. Thank you for your kindness and May Almighty God continue to bless you and Rest In Peace Ms Margaret. You are missed. I pray for strength for her family and all of us friends of her.

We served together in Afghanistan, one of my favorite people to work with.   Smart, tough, personable, simply one of the best. Always cheerful and  MM ( you know).  Rest easy, you will never be forgotten, prayers. 

Miss Margaret you will be missed! Served with Miss Margaret 2017/2018, HKIA.

I was in Afghanistan with Ms. Margaret from 2017-2019.  Ms. Margaret was a Classy Lady and I am grateful we continued to talk after redeploying. I will miss you, Rest in Peace. 

I worked in Kabul with Ms.Margaret, she was always a delight to see and could make you laugh even when you were down. She was a very loving, caring person who was never afraid to “Lemme tell you about yo self!”! She is well loved and will be deeply missed.  Rest peacefully Ms. Margaret 🙏♥️

Served in Afghanistan with Ms. Margaret from 2017 - 2018.  I will always remember her kindness and the way she treated everyone like family. She will be missed. My condolences and prayers to the family. RIP Ms. Margaret. Your work on earth has been completed. 

Rest in paradise Ms Gibson. It was always a great time listening to you talk about wrestling and UFC. 

I had the distinct pleasure of working alongside Ms. Margaret during a tour to Afghanistan in 2016/2017. We called her Mom as she played that role well caring for all she came in contact with. I am shocked to hear of her passing. She will surely be missed by all. May God grant all who are hurting His peace, comfort and understanding. We'll miss you "Mom".

I had the privilege of serving alongside Margaret in Afghanistan for a year.  She was a consummate professional in everything she did and her spirit was uplifting to all that she came into contact with.  We were all better to have been able to shine from her light.

I was a Major in the Australian Army and had the privilege to have worked with Margaret in Kabul in 2016. A beautiful smile and always a friendly welcome through some difficult times.
I was shocked to hear of her passing. Far too young and too quickly. My thoughts are now with Margarets family and friends and my memories that I will always have. 

Since we left our last tenure, I've always asked about Ms. Margaret. Not many things get to me but this has. I'm not much for words, but I couldn't have express enough the kind of person Ms. Margaret was to everyone working with her overseas. Tough, but kind and would take care of any and everybody. She eased the impact of being away from home and she will be missed. God Bless Ms. Margaret and her family!

Ms. Margaret is the sweetest lady I have ever met. She had a heart of gold and cared for everyone. As a MAJ in Afghanistan, I knew I could go to Ms. Margaret and ask her for anything and it would happen. God bless her and her family.

I met Margaret while serving in Afghanistan.  You could never have a conversation with her without smiling or laughing at some point. Even in the rough times she could make you smile. She will be dearly missed but thought of often.

I served with Margaret in Afghanistan supporting the Afghan Military.  She was a great person and one I considered a friend.  She was Smart, and a calming presence during some trying times. I morn her passing. She was a woman of faith and I am sure she is with her lord and those who passed before her.  I will remember her.

Margaret was/is a wonderful wife and most of all my best friend and life companion. She was the BFFanyone could ever possibly want, her heart, her mind, her caring soul will surely always be missed. I love you HONEY...rest in peace.

I worked w Margaret at Ft Greely, Alaska.  I am shocked by her passing.  She served her country in some difficult environments. I am proud to have called her my friend.
