So sad to hear of Marg’s passing. We shared many years teaching together at Huron Centennial. Many have expressed what a dedicated person she was. She was always there to help if needed both students and teachers. We always knew that she had a deep understanding of how to help others. I have missed seeing her on a daily basis but there are many memories to hold on to.

Ray and Judy Mills
To all of Marg’s family;
Please accept our very deepest sympathy at your loss. Marg was a good friend to Marjorie Mills and to each of the Mills’ family. Any time she would see one of us she would ask questions, catch up with the news, was always interested in each one of us. She was always up to date with what was happening in Exeter, in the area and in the larger world. Marg retired from Huron Centennial the year I started teaching there so I never had the privilege of teaching with her, but I learned a lot from being associated with her through the years. She was a very dedicated teacher and a true friend. Our thoughts are with each of you. God Bless.
Tracey Riley
