    Marg taught me a few beginner's sessions in pottery in her early 80's and toward the end of her career as a potter. I was privileged to be one of her last pupils. Now she's in the original Potter's Hands!

    Marg, along with her husband Doug, has been a most cherished friend of the Ryland family, especially of Fr. Ray Ryland and his wife Ruth. We gratefully remember all her "works of mercy," for us and for many others in the Steubenville community. We also remember with gratitude her constant and loving accompaniment of our mom Ruth during her final years. God has welcomed home a "good and faithful servant. We miss her and pray for her and her bereaved family.

    Dr. Lowry and family, please accept my deepest condolences. Mrs. Lowry was just a wonderful, lovely, kind woman. I still use the shaving bowl that she made for me when I lived with Dr. and Mrs. Lowry while I was finishing grad school at FUS, and thoughts of her always bring a smile to my face. May your memories of her bring you comfort and peace. -Greg Lamatrice

    Marg has a special place in my heart. She taught me pottery, and had many giggles at it. Most of all she taught me how to be an attentive and loving wife, through word and example. So grateful God prompted me to call last week and had the chance to speak to her. May God bless you Doug for your help and kindness in our call. You will always be in my prayers.
