Marguerite  -  -  I only knew you for a short time but you influenced many, many lives especially mine.  I will never forget you and Claude.  We had many good conversations.  I remember so how you both liked Mince Meat Pie.  We would bring you 2 pieces and you would cut them in two to last longer.  I miss you both as I do Peg.  Love always.  Bill McD.

George, John and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She was such a sweet person and a wonderful teacher to all. You all have my sincere sympathy. Hold your memories close to your hearts.

Mrs Wilcox was my first grade teacher at old Central Elementary 1947. I was very shy and grew up on farms near Shelby. I remember her beautiful blonde hair pulled up on top. Her blue eyes just sparkled. I was hooked. She was friendly and yet she had a sterness you wouldn't want to pry. Sorry for her passing and yet by all human standards she lived a full life. For that we are greatfull and thankfull. She will be missed and remembered in time to come.

George, Dixie, and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I am praying for comfort for all of you.
Jill (Dunbar) Humphrey

So Sorry to hear about Marguerite's passing.  As my husband says, she was an Amazing woman!  We enjoyed living and meeting your parents when we lived in Plymouth.  Wonderful people!  May they find happiness together in heaven.

Dear Friends,
     I was saddened to read that Mrs. Wilcox has made her transition.  What a long and wonderful life she has had!  I was a new teacher at Central Elementary in Shelby in the early 60's and she was a wonderful mentor to me.  I always appreciated her positive remarks and pleasant manner.  It was fun to have her visit my classroom.
     May you be comforted by many happy memories and the love and support of your family and friends.  I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you grieve this great loss.
                   Sincerely,

Marguerite Wilcox was an incredible influence on my life and that of my family.  I hold her memory in the highest esteem.  She loved me when I needed it most.

We were sorry to learn of Marguerite's death.  She was a faithful and involved member of the New Haven church when we were there from 1954 to 1960, and continued in her commitment throughout the years.  We were happy to see her briefly when we returned to New Haven for a celebration of building improvements in recent years.  We send our best to John and George and all the family.
