I had the pleasure of working with Margaret at the Superior Court in Ontario, California. I knew her when she married Judge Ben Burrell. She was a lovely and classy lady who had grace and a great sense of humor. She was a wonderful and kind woman
Sorry for the family's loss.

Margaret was kind, caring, generous and beautiful inside and out. She was always “dressed up” when she came to church and was devoted to her faith. I will treasure her friendship and pray for the peaceful repose of her soul. My sincere sympathy to her family.
