There is so much I could say about Margaret, she was one in a million, she loved everyone she met and touch us all, I have a cupboard full of Pyramid Salt, the second I found out about Margaret I was in her room making her laugh, the next day she had left us. She was like a mother to me, as well as being a best friend. I miss her and she will always remain in my heart. I love you ❤️If there’s an afterlife, I hope we meet again. Richard/ Darren.
Deepest sympathy to Margaret’s family of whom she was so truly proud.

Our thoughts are with Margaret’s family and friends on this sad day of her funeral. It was such a wonderful service and story of a life (- ) well lived.

Margaret will be extremely missed by all staff and residents, as she was their greatest social convener!

She is fondly rembered by members of our Society as a prolific researcher of history & the many publications of the Pyramid Hill & District Historical Society. She will be sadly missed by all.
Margaret was great company talking about so many people we knew. My heart goes out to Judi Nola Grandson.whom I met. Sharing interest in the gardens.
Shared so much with so many here and in the area outside. Shall keep you with me my friend, as no doubt is the case for many folk.
Deepest sympathy to the extended Williamson family. Margaret was a great friend and mentor on many committees over the years and was always a wonderful inspiration. She was also a respected friend of mum’s, even in their latter letter writing years.
Margaret and I became acquainted trading Scout badges by mail in the 1970s. I visited Margaret and Murray in Pyramid Hill in 1979 and she came to visit us in Canada a few years later; we kept in touch ever since. Margaret faithfully remembered my birthday and sent newsy letters of all her activities and her growing family then and every Christmas. Goodbye my friend. My condolences to the family and all her friends, I know there are many.
Our deepest sympathy to you all. She was a wonderful grandma in my heart and always loved. Love you always. Rest in peace my grandma.
Rest in peace Margaret. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. Deepest sympathy to Margaret’s family and friends.
Margaret,
You were a wonderful friend & will be sorely missed. We shared many a good time, especially whenever I was being looked after by Judi or Nola & sometimes you. I’ll never forget the hard work & tireless effort you put into the making of the Braille Trail that was put up at the Hill in the early 1990’s. You made sure that I had access to the same historic information as my sighted peers & it meant the world to me knowing that i could climb the hill to the saddle using the chain handrail that made it more accessible & when I reached the end, I could read the plaque that contained information about Pyramid Hill as well as indicating direction of landmarks such as Mt Hope. Condolences to the Williamson family. RIP my friend. ♥️💙💖
Deepest sympathy to Malcolm, Andrew, Nola, Judi and families on the passing of Margaret.

Members of the Pyramid Hill & District Historical Society are saddened to hear of the passing of Margaret, and offer their condolences to her family.
Margaret worked tirelessly for the Historical Society and the Pyramid Hill community. She was largely responsible for many of the vast array of publications for sale at the Museum, having spent years researching and collating information that enables people from all over the world to trace their roots back to our district. Margaret has left a lasting legacy and her contribution, dedication, generosity and friendship will long be remembered.
My deepest sympathy to the family. Margaret was my dear friend, sister in law. I will deeply miss our 7pm chats every night. Rest in peace. From Judy (Hills) Williamson.
I was very sad to hear of Margaret’s passing, she will be sadly missed by all residents at Box Hill Aged Care, where she was friendly and helped where possible. She has been a wonderful friend to me during my time here. We enjoyed lots of happy hours shared meals with Father Bob and Graeme, we devoured quite a lot of luxurious meals, when we were all well enough we celebrated at RSL. Rest in peace lovely lady.
So sad to hear the passing of a wonderful friend and amazing historian in Margaret.
We were so fortunate to have had Margaret and Murray’s unwavering support and treasured friendship , their acts of kindness shown to our family will never be forgotten.
Deepest sympathies to Judy, Nola, Malcolm, Andrew and families.
Rest in peace Margaret, you’ve certainly deserved it after such a full and well lived life.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Margaret’s passing, and I extend my loving sympathy to Malcolm, Andrew, Nola, Judy and their families. Margaret was a great ambassador for Pyramid Hill, her tireless work in recording the district’s history, will be appreciated by future generations. Well done Margaret Williamson, a kind and thoughtful friend to all.
Margaret was a great friend to the St Patrick’s school community when I taught there. She grew beautiful berries on the shared fence which we may have enjoyed illicitly. She shared much more as well. Kind thoughts. Margaret English
Margaret’s passing leaves a huge gap in the Pyramid Hill community.
She was an enthusiastic and dedicated historian and she also put her community on the map and kept the broader community informed with stories and pictures as a correspondent for The Northern Times.
Sincere sympathy to Margaret’s family.

I was very saddened to hear the passing of my old school mate at Mangarra Rd Girls school East Camberwell. We went through from Form 1 to Form 4 as “school mates” then in later life met up again as a result of Margaret’s organisation. Rest now my dear friend. Much love to your family who you loved so much.
Farewell Margaret,
She gave so much to her community and will be truly missed.

We were saddened to hear of the passing of Margaret. Remembering fondly sharing many good times with Margaret during our Scouting days. Margaret was a great organiser and planner and always ensured everyone had a great time.
Her love of history and research meant she often found articles of interest to our family and she always willingly shared these with us.
We will miss the informative Christmas letters which kept us up to date with all her family, of whom she was very proud.
Sending our sincere condolences to all of her family.
Shirley and Ossie Costello and the Dobie and Wakeman families.
Our deepest sympathy to you all. Margaret was a wonderful lady and we are all blessed to have known her.
Our sympathy to the family. It was Margaret who always had a friendly word of encouragement for us. She was inspirational in the writing about the history of Mologa. Thanks
