Margaret was a distant cousin of mine whom I met after she joined the National Corder Family Association which I co-founded. She was a wonderful and gracious woman who had many interests besides her work as Assistant Director of Finance at the Air Force Academy. One of those interests was in Corder family history. I remember the love she had for her two dogs whom she had named "Buttons" and "Bows." She took my wife and I to dinner at the Air Force Academy dinning hall where we observed deer coming right up to the windows! She was the perfect hostess and treated us royally. My sincere condolences go out to her remaining nephews and nieces as well as her many friends.

She was an amazing woman to work. Lots of integrity. Was easy to respect her. Also enjoyed visiting with her at the organ recitals in town. Amazing memory of all the people who worked for her. She made this world a better place. Once an employee and then a friend
