Margie was a Title One/Reading Recovery teacher in Prince William County Virginia. She taught with determination and compassion for over 36 years. The children that she taught were never her students, They were her children. And she was their advocate. The two main schools that she taught in were Potomac View elementary and West Gate elementary. Her legacy will be all the thousands of children she helped to be better readers and constructive citizens. What a powerful testimony to her life’s work! She epitomized the word “teacher”.
