Margaret was the life of the party and always made everything fun. Her sense of humor, generosity and devotion to her family was always admired and will be dearly missed. Mom made raising seven children seem easy. Her love and support made all of us feel very secure and we had little need for material things. She raised us to be respectful of others and to be thankful for what we had. We were brought up to work for what you wanted and make the most out of life. To think positive and always look at the bright side. Thanks Mom, we greatly appreciate all you did for us. You will live on in our hearts.

Margaret was a supporter of Resurrection Church in Williston Park, especially for our Penny Socials. Her contribution and participation was a joyful presence for us all. You will be missed, Margaret!
Richard and Pat Bellin thought Mrs. Dutcher was tops. We enjoyed her trips to Virginia Beach and game nights at Bruce and Maureen's house. She was the life of the party. Always made us laugh. We thank her and Barbara for their generosity of housing Richard with his many trips with Bruce to NY. We will love and miss you Mrs. Dutcher.
WOW! What can I say....I just texted Diane that she was the GOAT....for me, GREATIEST OF ALL TIME NEIGHBORS!!!! BEST neighbor/"Aunt" there ever could have been. Too many memories to type. The WHOLE Dutcher family was a blessing to us, their neighbors. SOOO many good times.... we were so fortunate to have them RIGHT next door. Love and prayers to the entire family!
Love from,
Lisa Van Tasell and family from Florida!!!
