Margaret M. Rollins NORTHFIELD FALLS — Margaret M. Rollins (Meiggs) “Maggie”, 79, of Northfield Falls, passed away peacefully on Friday, December 15, 2023, at Barre Gardens Nursing Home in Barre, Vermont. Maggie was born in Cannan, VT on March 13, 1944, to Clarence and Vera (Camber) Meiggs. She attended school in Woodbury, VT. On June 30, 1979, Maggie married Chester Rollins in Moretown, Vermont. They resided on Center Road in Middlesex, VT for 29 years. Maggie worked at the Nantanna Woolen Mill before being employed at Sprague Electric. Later in life, she took great pride and joy in maintaining and caring for the Middlesex Center Cemetery for more than two decades. Maggie was passionate about crocheting doilies and sharing her creations with family and friends. She enjoyed watching NASCAR races with her two cats Sparky and Asher beside her in her recliner. Maggie was always happiest riding on her tractor “Betsy”, whether mowing in the cemetery or in the field.
