Margaret L. Gulick

Margaret L. (Gieber) Gulick, 67, of Pennington, died Wednesday, September 24, 2014 at Compassionate Care Hospice of Trenton. Peggy, as she was affectionately known, valiantly endured a two-year diagnosis of AL Amyloidosis and Multiple Myeloma.

Born in New Brunswick, she was raised in Edison. She received her BA with a concentration in psychology from Douglass College in 1969 and her MA in higher education from Syracuse University in 1971. She went on to apply her passion for childhood education and early childhood development with such institutions as Research for Better Schools in Philadelphia, and the Education Law Center in Newark, where she served as a researcher and co-author of policy and position papers. She would later work for Energy Management Services before transitioning back to the educational policy and research sector to work for Educational Testing Service in Princeton. In 1984, she co-founded MGB Marketing in Pennington with her ex-husband Brent Gulick, where she served as V.P. of Operations and Human Resources.

She is best remembered in the community for her unyielding actions of service for others, most notably as a parent volunteer at her son’s schools, including Bear Tavern Elementary, and Timberlane Middle School, where she led efforts such as partnering with Barnes and Noble in Princeton to increase revenue for the school’s annual book fair, to inviting authors to speak at Hopewell Valley Public Schools, and The Lawrenceville School, where she was a devoted house-mother of the Dickinson House and volunteer for the Parent Fund, Lawrenceville swimming and rowing teams.

Most of all, she was a loving mother, sister, and daughter with an inexhaustible will to teach and nourish the lives of others — an energy best embodied in the notable passage from Ulysses: “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”

Daughter of the late Eugene Gieber, she is survived by her son Brad Gulick of Princeton, her mother Florence Adams, and two sisters Patricia Campagna and Pamela Weiss.

Services and a celebration of her life will be held at Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton on Sunday, October 12, 2014 beginning at 1:30 p.m. with a reception to follow at the church. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations are directed to the Amyloidosis Research Team at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania to help fund research for her illness.
