The Crabettes will no longer be the same without our beloved Anita. She was such an enthusiastic member or our group, always lining up more gigs for us. We fondly called her "The General". We'll keep going but always missing her delightful character and encouragement.

Stuart , I remember meeting your mother when you and Carla and your Mother had come off the back river at AJ’s after a wonderful day of fishing. She had a wonderful life. Hang in there. Joe Inglesby

Paul and I are so sorry for your family's loss. Anita was a great lady, and a wonderful musician as well. Surely she is now playing her accordion for the angels and the Lord! What a treat!

I am grateful for the conversations with Anita and attending the concerts at Armstrong Atlantic University with her. She to me was a pioneer of her time.

My deepest condolences for the loss of your mother. What an extraordinary person who lived life to the fullest! Margaret, you were more than an exemplary daughter -to the very end, you were her friend and companion. One couldn't ask for more, or better.

Dear Margaret and family,

- Judith Jones, Savannah , Ga

As a fellow accordionist and talking to her many times at events, even playing with the Crabettes a few times, I can say that she was one heck of a Lady and entertainer. She would always me names of the song I had just played. I met Anita at Savannah Square while I was playing for events. I will miss her.

- Robert Taylor, Savannah, GA

Ms. Margaret and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Praying that God will bring each of you peace and comfort during this most difficult time. God bless you all.

- Rita Wiggins , Bloomingdale , Georgia

I always enjoyed Anita's wit and have missed seeing her for the last few years. I'm very sorry for your loss.

- Katie Remick, Savannah, GA

Anita's presence was indeed a very special encounter - her interest in you, her encouragement, her cleverness always became the 'icing on the cake'. It always seemed at the end of group discussions, including Anita, problems seemed to be solved by clever Anita's 'hitting the nail on the head'. We will miss you, Anita.

- Joan Hester Byrd, Savannah, Georgia

What a long, interesting, productive life to be celebrated! My parents thought the world of their friends, Tom and Anita Clay, and the Lippitts. So very sorry to hear of your family loss, with the passing of this most extraordinary woman. The community at large will certainly miss her, her creativity, music, and forthrightness.
