October 30, 1947 - June 1, 2017

Dear Friends,

Margaret Ayckbourn, a beloved member of the Fellowship of Friends, completed her task on  Thursday, June 1, 2017, at 11:36 am, after a prolonged illness.  Margaret turned sixty-nine on her last birthday in October.  She was lovingly cared for by her daughter Abigail and long-time companion Reggie.

Margaret joined the School in San Francisco May 1, 1976.  In 1980, she helped to open the Copenhagen Center, staying there until 1982.  Margaret moved to Apollo in 1983 and worked as a home-health nurse.  She consistently offered her compassionate nursing skills to students wherever needed, taking an  active part in  the early days of the Circle of Friends.

On behalf of all who knew you, we thank thee.

In loving presence,
Elizabeth Blake
For The Elysian Society

Epitaph:

Her care and love for us
Was her life’s work
We shall always remember

The purpose of life is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate,
to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
