So very sad that Margaret has passed. We were great friends/neighbors from 3rd grade through high school. Kathy and I really enjoyed visiting with Margaret and her husband, Jim, when they lived in Arizona. Maragret was raised in a large family. I have some great memories of Margaret and her family. A couple of summers during high school Margaret and I picked blueberries in Margaret's neighbors field. I was the only guy picking berries and Margaret's neighbor kept an eye out for Margaret and her sisters.
Margaret will be greatly missed but our memories will always remain with us. Much love to Margaret and her family.
The last time I saw Margaret was at a restaurant in Pinetop, AZ the summer of 2017, I believe. The lunch was organized by Sue Adams (Miller) and Sue Parma (Laramore) and I attended. We had a great visit and Margaret was her witty and charming self. She was a sweet, kind and intelligent girl who grew into a lovely adult with the same qualities. I'm so sorry her life was cut short and I send my condolences to her husband and family.
I was so sad to hear that Margaret Scales had passed. She was a lovely person all around and fun to be with. Fern mentioned our get together in the White Mountains with 4 of us from our class. We really enjoyed reminiscing our high school memories and catching up on all the years since. Following that lunch Margaret and I kept in touch until I moved to VA. She will be greatly missed.
I, too, am so sad to hear of Margaret's passing.
She was a sweet friend elementary through high school.
We didn't stay close after high school but a few years ago
I was in Walmart in Show Low, Az, and this familiar gal
turned and looked at me. I guess we recognized each
other at about the same time. It was a great moment!
We talked and I met her husband, Jim, and then we parted
again. Awhile after that, I was so happy to see her again when
she, Sue Miller, Fern Rostad, and I were able to meet for lunch
in that area! We had a wonderful visit of memories and catching up!
Marg was my first good friend at Meadowdale in our junior year. I had come from Edmonds High, but I was a transplant from Seattle the year before that and didn't really make any special friends there at EHS. We were in journalism together for our two years, working on the Chieftain. She and I palled around on weekends and in that summer before our senior year. She had the use of her family's old Dodge/DeSoto/Plymouth---the same car my grandparents had. Pretty impressive... As long as we had 50 cents for gas, we were good to go!
One Wednesday at school (regulation day), we each unknowingly wore the exact same clothes: straight navy skirt, white V-necked sweater, white "nothing" blouse, and even a popular circle pin. When she saw me, she was so surprised and then told me she wasn't going to be seen with me all day! At one of our last reunions, she brought me a gift: a circle pin.
She and I were accepted and scheduled to go to WSU together in the fall of 1965. We even requested to room together, but just weeks before we were supposed to leave, she was injured in a car accident and couldn't go. That's where our paths separated.
We reconnected again years later when I learned that she and her family were living in Auburn; I was in Kent. I got a phone call one Sunday, the voice on the other end demanding, "Where were you last night?" I responded with, "Who is this and where was I supposed to be?" It was the day after the MHS tenth reunion, something I knew nothing about. It was Marg. We reconnected from there, actually buying the house that she and her husband, Jim, were thinking about buying but had changed their minds. We moved in just two blocks away from them!
Marg was such a gentle, kind soul with a wicked sense of humor! I'm smiling now remembering her one-liners. She will be missed by her friends and family. My condolences to all who loved her and knew her.
