Margaret graduated as stated from the University of Tennessee, taught at J. Sargent Reynolds and Virginia Commonwealth University and subsequently received her Doctor in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Kansas in 1979 focusing on solar assisted heat pumps. Afterwards she was part of the faculty at the Ohio State University in Mechanical Engineering teaching thermodynamics, heat transfer and design. She also was a chapter president of the Columbus chapter of ASHRAE for several years as well as consulting on geothermal heat pump design and installation. Margaret and George married and had 4 children, Douglas Thomas, Virginia Katherine, Mary Margaret, and George Marshall, and lived in Richmond, VA, Lawrence, KS and Circleville, OH as George's career with Dupont advanced. Margaret was first a teacher, as sharing her knowledge was her passion. Her curiosity ranged from mushroom collecting, to studying German, but her real love was traveling, exploring and meeting new cultures and people. She taught in Malaysia several times and traveled extensively with People to People to understand heating and engineering challenges in different parts of the world. Margaret was also very active in her church, was a respected teacher and sought-after lecturer for retreats and women's studies. Margaret is survived by all four of her children and 6 grandchildren, Timothy, Benjamin, Willow, Tabitha, Annika and Antonia. She was preceded in death by both her parents and her husband, George M. Drake who died in 2003. We want to especially thank Legacy Retirement Village of Iowa City, Solon Nursing Care Center of Solon and Hospice Care of Iowa City for their loving care of our mother.
