A few of you on here will have known Margaret , she was a member here for a while too.
She lived in Emerald QLD and was a fanatical Sea Eagles fan.
She joined one of my early supporter tours to NZ with much trepidation “ Mark , I’m a single , old , Granny I just won’t fit it “. I said “ bull**** , they’ll love you “.
They did.
She went on to join every single trip I ran , and not only that spent an absolute fortune on travelling from Emerald to Brookvale for almost every home game for about 5 years. As she made friends she’d often come for a month and do the away games as well.
She was made member of the year ( to rapturous applause from the crowd as EVERYONE knew of her ) I think about 5 years ago.
And not long after this the cancer hit , which slowed her down a little at first ( but she still travelled when she could ).
Sadly the last two years in particular were very very hard on her , but she still made one final trip driving down to Mudgee for last years game.
She passed away yesterday afternoon with her family by her side.
