    One in a million. Marg helped me out teaching food tech after our food tech teacher passed away and I couldn’t have done it without her. She was a generous, kind and warm hearted soul and the world was so much richer because of Marg. Rest In Peace, lovely lady. My sympathies to the Duggan whānau. 😢

    Condolences to Marg’s family. She was so very proud of her girls and their families. She was a great baker, and generously shared her wares in the community. Marg was a teacher aid at WHS for many years. Staff and students alike benefitted from her support. She saw the best in every student that she worked with, and never saw a child go hungry. I enjoyed our catch ups after she retired. No BS from Marg. x
