Such a honour to be touched by a devoted hard working teacher who gave us tools, skills and strategies to give Maori the best life possible.
Thank you Marg for all you taught us and more.
To your family, our sincere aroha to you all

My condolences to Maggie's family.
I met Maggie in Sydney in 2005 at the APDTA conference, we had a great weekend with some other people from NZ.
Maggie was instrumental in getting the APDTNZ off the ground and her enthusiasm and hard work paid off.
Maggie was an outstanding human being, an inspiration.
Rest in peace, no more work to be done for now.

Only just seen Marg's Death Notice. I too l was a life member of the Kindergarten Association. We shared a lot and I took inspiration from her love of Kindergartens and from her guidance throughout my time as Association President. I worked with Keith as well at MOW so I am now reflecting on the past with fond memories. Marg your family will miss you as many of us will. A special lady passed.
