Dear Todd and family, Sincere condolences on your mother's passing.
My memories of Mrs Durst were of a dynamic, energetic, happy woman. She was always laughing and smiling (I can hear her laughing right now). She was a driving force in the Simonds drama club in the 1980s and she made it such fun for the students. She was a great teacher - she wasn't a formal teacher to me, but she taught me a lot. She was well-liked by her colleagues; Mrs. Francie Wheaton always spoke of Mrs. Durst with great affection. Kudos on a life well-lived, Mrs. Durst. Aleha ha-shalom.
May your fond memories of her bring you comfort during this difficult time.

Sincere condolences on the passing of your Mom. I had the pleasure of teaching with Marg at Simonds and fondly remember her happy greetings, quick wit and genuine enthusiasm that she readily shared with her colleagues and students. She will definitely be remembered for her dedication to the drama program at the school. Through her, many students developed a passion for theatre and made such fun memories while doing so. Marg made our days a little brighter! May she Rest in Peace.

A caring soul and a huge supporter of theatre arts at Simonds High. I had the honour of working with Mrs. Durst on several plays. She always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. She lit the room when she entered. Her enthusiasm was contagious. Condolences to the family for the loss of this great lady.

Marg’s family,
As a former colleague of Marg’s at SHS, I send my sincerest condolences for your recent loss.
May you find comfort from family, friends , memories and the many messages I expect you will receive from Marg’s former colleagues and students.
My primary recollection all these years later of Marg was her welcoming smile and good humour - two great attributes for a teacher! And she was an effective teacher.
We will remember her.
