Margaret was an inspiration to many, in part due to the love and support that many special education professionals provided Margaret throughout her vibrant life. Margaret was a mainstay at all NC State sporting events and was a guest lecturer in many NC State classes to show students how to work with those with developmental disabilities. Margaret would always say “NC State was more important” and she was “Full-Blooded Wolfpack”.
