Margo’s passion was her family and enjoying life. She wanted nothing more than to see her children succeed and do better than she did. She was a great singer. She was an amazing cook. She loved music and dancing. She made sure that everyone she met felt comfortable and included. She never turned down an opportunity for a party with friends and family. She was especially fond of animals, specifically dogs. She loved all dogs and all dogs loved her. She had a special talent for making them sing and howl.

The family would like to thank Magnolia Hospice for the care and compassion they showed Margo in her final days. We especially want to thank Melanie Guzman, RN, and Jennifer Harms.
