Margaret resigned from VIEW Club last week as she has relocated to live in an Aged Care home in Canberra to be closer to her family.
"Margaret was one of our most valued members," president Sue Giokaris said.
"We will miss her devotion to VIEW and the Lithgow community in general."
Sue said Margaret was a great campaigner for the Learning for Life program and The Smith Family.
