Vale Marguerite (Margo) Buckingham (nee Erskine)

We are saddened to hear about the passing of Margo Buckingham, Class of 1978. We thank Mark, her husband of 38 years, for this reflection on her life. We extend our sympathies to Margo’s family and friends.

Margo left this world on the 26 October 2022, but her light, the radiant heart of our universe, still glows in every life she touched. We were married for 38 years, a partnership that brought us five beautiful children and countless shared moments stitched together with laughter, challenge, and deep love.

She held her time at St Ursula’s profoundly close, and I’ve had the privilege of meeting many of her friends from there, women who share a quiet strength and enduring grace that Margo carried into everything she did.

She lived with courage, stepping boldly from each success into the unknown, never fearing the next chapter. Her story hasn’t ended, it simply continues in a different form, written in the hearts of those who loved her.
