Marguerite always greeted all with a caring smile. Moving from Los Angeles, I met her while ushering but soon understood how close the Richmond community was when I mentioned the names of my daughter's in-laws, with whom she was close friends with. It was so sad to hear the news of her passing, my condolences to her entire family. Rest in peace my beautiful friend; you will be missed. Philippa Clarke

Wesley, Chris and family, What a wonderful gift to the world - your mom. She was everyone's friend,; she and your dad raised two gentlemen who are now carrying on with her legacy. She loved you so much.

You are in my prayers, SenoRita (Your Spanish Teacher)

I was surprised and saddened to hear about Marguerite. We worked together at the Supreme Court of Virginia for years and my wife ushered with her at the Altria for performances. Marguerite always had a smile and pleasant greeting when we crossed paths.

Prayers are sent for her and family.

RIP Marguerite. πŸ™πŸ™ing for the family and friends during this difficult time. God bought you to this time and most surly will see you through it. My heartfelt condolences to you all especially Wesley, children etc. I met Marguerite and Wesley in college. I was a couple of grades behind them, however; I remember Marguerite as always being nice and friendly.

I didn't know Marguerite well. We met when she ushered me to my seat at an Altria theatre performance several years ago. I was surprised she could walk due to the weight of all the pins on her vest. We got to chatting about our favorite shows; I mentioned mine & she said, "that pin is right here, oh no it's missing". Then we met up on a couple of Signa Tours (to see a show of course). Whenever we did meet up, we chatted like we had been friends for years. She had replaced her missing pin. I was saddened to hear of her passing. Her bright smile will last in my memory forever.

Our prayers and condolences goes out to the Steele family. Sam/Elaine King
