Young in 1931, started SOMETHNG NATURAL, a food store and sandwich place, when she first arrived on Nantucket Island and she and her former husband ran the business together for 14 years. She joined the Nantucket Theater Workshop soon after moving there and for many years acted, stage managed, did costumes, make-up, in fact anything she could get her hands on.
She was mother to 10 children, 5 of whom she carried under her heart, 10 of whom she carried in her heart.
She wrote the ISLE COOK column in the NANTUCKET MAP AND LEGEND for seven years. She had been writing poetry forever, but in the last few years of her life she made an attempt to get them published, with some success, mostly in small literary magazines and one in NANTUCKET MAGAZINE.
Margaret Hitchcock died at home in her beloved island in 2009.view less
