Marguerite passes
Marguerite Matheny passed away in May 1988 at the age of 75. She and Walter had laid the foundation of an institution that was to grow beyond anything they could have imagined. Two years earlier, at the 40th birthday celebration of the Matheny School, she told guests, “We happened to be two people in the right place at the right time. There was nothing at the time for anyone but children with polio. We learned and we listened, and we surrounded ourselves with intelligent people, and it was easy.”
