Legendary commercials. I had the privilege of talking with her on several occasions while I was a member of the sales team at Palmetto Ford in the late 80's. She was authentic, friendly, smart, and funny. RIP. Sincerest condolences.

Margaret, Your mother was so special to me and St. Johns Church, Johns Island. Every Friday she would stuff the Sunday bulletins, organize all the things needed for the Ushers, acolytes and clergy. She was a Saint. Blessings,
Jean Corbett.
