Margaret (Maggie) Gilbert passed away suddenly on August 26, having suffered a fatal embolism. Gilbert was the daughter of Rose and the late Sam Gilbert. She was a graduate of University High School, UCLA and UCLA Law School. ‘We had just spent three-and-a-half weeks together in England, where we saw 23 plays and had so much fun together,’ said her mother Rose. ‘After we came home, we were watching the Olympics together and then she drove home to her apartment.’ Later that evening Maggie suffered a fatal embolism. Rose Gilbert, 86, has been teaching at Palisades High School since the school opened in 1961. This fall she is teaching four AP English classes. In addition to her mother, Gilbert is survived by her brother Michael (his wife Karen) and Robert (wife Caprice), nephews and nieces David (wife Sheila) Jeff (wife Gabi), Fabienne (wife Dima) Cezanne, Savannah and Dominoe, and grand nieces and nephews.
