A Field of Interest fund of the Williamsport-Lycoming
Community Foundation, established to benefit the
residents of the Muncy area.
About the Waldron Memorial Trust Fund
The Waldron Memorial Trust Fund salutes the
memory of Margaret E. Waldron, a civic-minded visionary and philanthropist
whose legacy primarily benefits residents of Muncy,
Pennsylvania. In her will, Waldron
noted that the three organizations of greatest interest
to her at the time were Muncy Baptist Church, Muncy
Public Library and Muncy Valley Hospital. These three
have grown to many more as her legacy embraces a wide
range of programs serving the greater Muncy area.
Born to Charles Waldron, a former president of the
(then) Sprout-Waldron company, Margaret Waldron herself
eventually became a member of the company's Board of
Directors. Her life embodied a career of community
service, beginning with her first position as a math
teacher at Lock Haven High School in 1921 and
culminating in her retirement from Bloomsburg University
in 1956, where she was Assistant Dean of Women. Her
volunteer career continued for another forty years in
the community where she was highly regarded as
well-educated, well-mannered and very dignified.
In 1976, Margaret Waldron set forth provisions in her
will for the establishment of a Trust to "support
charitable, educational, religious, or health care
purposes in and around the Borough of Muncy."
Today, a three-member committee recommends funding
decisions: Edward Hannan, chairman, and president of the
Keystone Friction Hinge Company; Richard Lloyd, retired
banking executive; and Betty Baker, cousin of Margaret
Waldron. All are residents of Muncy and are familiar
with the community's needs.
