Margaret W. Fowler Editor
Margaret W. Fowler, 87, who co-edited two books about the rich and diverse lives of the elderly, died July 14 at Broadmead, a continuing-care retirement community in Cockeysville, Md. She had Parkinson's disease.
With Priscilla McCutcheon, Mrs. Fowler edited "Songs of Experience: An Anthology of Literature on Growing Old" (1991) and "Love in Full Bloom," a 1994 collection of short stories about romantic love among older people. Her aim was to dispel stereotypes of older people and show that they can be as funny, stubborn and passionate as their younger counterparts.
Margaret Williamson was born in Baltimore and graduated in 1945 from Wellesley College. In 1978 she received a master's degree in women's studies from George Washington University.
She served as a Red Cross nurse during World War II in the Philippines and Japan, where she was among the first nurses to go to the island of Kyushu after the Japanese surrender. She met her husband, then an Army lieutenant, during the U.S. occupation of France, when they served together at a rest-and-recreation hotel for Allied troops.
From 1964 to 1967, Mrs. Fowler lived in Bogota, Colombia, where her husband was chief of the U.S. Agency for International Development mission.
Her husband of 30 years, James R. Fowler, died in 1977. Survivors include three children, Pamela L. Fowler of Chevy Chase, Deborah F. Hudson of Baltimore and Michael R. Fowler of English, Ind.; and 11 grandchildren.
