Not sure what to say?





The encouragement that Marguerite and Gary bring to our music defies measure. Marguerite loved to suggest songs to us. The biggest hit is Sentimental Journey. She shared our appreciation for so many brilliant performers of a passing generation most notably Johnny Horton. We miss Marguerite so deeply, but in our memories we will see her sweet, smiling face if only for fleeting moments, and the songs she shared with us live on in our hearts.

We are so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful woman. As our next door neighbor of almost 20 years, it was been a blessing to have you in our life. Gary and the rest of the family, you are all in our thoughts and prayers today. We are visiting our daughter in St Louis and can't be with you today but we did a 5k walk today in her remembrance. God bless you all.

Mrs. Hubbard was the reason I got into choir and was a great example of what an educator should be. I have been teaching for several years now and wouldn't be as successful as I am without mentors like her in my life.
Much love and condolences to her family,
