Margaret FORSYTH Obituary

Our association goes back to the beginning of time to Knighton Normal School & Bocas Ave. So sorry to hear of Margaret's passing, sending much love to the Forsyth family at this sad time

Dear Thomas and Jonathan,

I just wanted to offer my condolences to you and your families on the very sad loss of your Mum.

Margaret was clearly a wonderful woman - a loved mother and grandmother, a much respected sportswoman and coach, and a valued city councillor, who gave much to so many people and organisations.

I was talking with Murray my brother last night on the phone and he remembers Margaret fondly from when he competed in inter-regional athletics competitions back in the 1970s and '80s.

She has left a proud legacy of service that you are both continuing.

I will be thinking of you especially this afternoon when you gather to honour and farewell your mother.

Kia kaha, kia maia, kia manawanui.

With best wishes,
Lindsay Cumberpatch

I am so sad to hear of Margaret's passing. Such a loss of a beautifully inspirational lady. Many memories flood back of the times we spent together. She probably never knew how much I looked up to her and how excited I would be, to be in her presence. She was humbly brilliant.
I send my utmost condolences to Ma, Pops, Mark, Gary, Thomas, Jonathan and Lucien and all the Whanau with love....

Margaret - you were so motivated & talented as a PE student, an all-round athlete and an inspirational Netball player, even at Hillcrest High level. You were a great role model and thoroughly deserved your many achievements & accolades!

Margaret you took amazing Les Mills body balance classes when we lived in Cambridge.So sad to hear you have left us sympathy to your family.

We met the first day at TColl in Hamilton. I remember going to the courts every lunch time - Margaret had to shoot 100 goals...I had to run and retrieve the ball. We did lots together.. her wedding to Brian was beautiful....even though we lost touch I sooo admire her for all she achieved. RIP
