""We were shocked to read that Margy has passed away. She was one of our first students at Antigo High School business classes. She always had her homework finished and on time, and always a smile on her face--and a cute giggle. She will be missed! God bless you all! We are up North and will not be able to honor her at her funeral." Glenn and Nancy Bugni "

" I am one of Margy's cousins--our mothers are twins. I have such wonderful memories of playing together as children. Our families spent a lot of time together. It got pretty wild when the Richards and Guenthner kids were all together! We've kept in touch over the years and I'm so glad we did. My prayers and love are for her family. "

"I knew of Margy in high school, but never really go to know her well until the summer of 1974. I had gotten a job in Eagle River working in housekeeping at Eagle Waters Resort. At the same time, Margy and Becky (Schmiege) Ripley were hired there also, Becky as a waitress and Margy in housekeeping as well. Margy soon dubbed us "The Eagle Waters River Rats" It turned into a friendship for life! She was also the first person to call me Madre. Margaret Ann, I will never forget you. "

"To all of Margy's family, I m so sorry for your loss. I have only fun memories of Margy. One of the best times was when she and I planned the Dawley Twins 80th Birthday. It gave us a chance to talk often, and as you can imagine, laugh much! She was so happy to do that for our moms. We have been in contact more often lately and she was always such a positive and goofy cousin. I will always treasure these memories and she will always have a place in my heart. I send love to you all. "
