A member of the combined Probus Club of Berwick Central, Marguerite enjoyed the fellowship and friendship.
She lived at Braeside Park and was a lively member of this wonderful community who were like family to her and the Allan family wish to thank all residents who were so wonderful to her.
She will be missed by her family and the Berwick community.
Always cheerful and loving, she will never be forgotten.
