Margaret Anthony loses her cancer battle

[Mark from Brisbane]

She once said to me

“ Mark you’ve changed my life “

I responded with “ no I didn’t , the Manly family did that “.

They have , on their website and Facebook page today.

Yep, I did see that. Very good that they did.

And time flies , member of the year 2012.

She could afford it BUT the money she spent travelling from Emerald to attend home games PLUS do every single trip of mine was enormous.

She told me she’d rather spend a heap of money doing something she loved that being the richest person in the graveyard.

Money well spent Margaret , money very well spent !!

Sad news indeed, ran into her at Brookie a few years ago, I knew she wasn't well, but she gave me a big hug and her face was beaming as we just had a big win over Melbourne.

Only met Margaret a few times, was so positive. saw her in the crowd at plenty of games.
One of the greatest people and supportah of the club.

Thoughts for her family and friends.

The world is a poorer place without her in it. Just a kind hearted lady who did so much for so many people in so many ways. Never to be forgotten. RIP @marga.

Was only wondering before Xmas how she was doing. Sad news.

I messaged her on Xmas Eve and wished her all the best with her family for the Christmas break , her last message was she was planning to enjoy the time with her family.

That was her last Facebook post as well ,well that day.

She touched many people I must say , the tributes have been pouring out all day.

She was such a great lady. I met her on the Brizvegas supporters gig. She always came over and said Hi to my young daughter at the time.
I hope the team and club recognise her in some capacity like @Seagles68 mentioned earlier. Maybe the first game of the season.

This is a reminder and celebration of how one human can touch the lives of others... and it doesn't require freakish athletic talent, wealth, business success, or remarkable intellect... it's about being real and authentic. Love and peace to all.

Marg was an absolute beautiful soul that had a kind word for everyone. She was the definition of “true supporter” and had the team’s back through the good and bad times. Fly high Marg, rest in peace xx

I was so so sad to hear the news of her passing....
A beautiful lady, loved by many and it was always fantastic to spend time with her.
She made so many friends though her love of the Sea Eagles and will be missed but remembered by them all.
RIP Margaret

The Club have put the funeral details up. Its next Saturday , January the 28th at St Patricks Catholic Church, Emerald, Qld. I am guessing that the club must be sending a representative, maybe Chez, she got on really well with him

They should , I’d think it would be someone like Wayne Cousins, he knew her well.

And I doubt the players would be allowed to miss a few days of training , but it’s possible it could be done in a day, so who knows.

Sad news. I was going to ask how she was going for my first post for this term. I met her up here at the Titans match in Gladstone. She was sitting next to Peter Peters and I was seated behind her. She was a fantastic lady and a true manly supporter. Easy going attitude and a great smile. Very sad news. Lovely lady.
