I was so sorry to get this news. Sending much love to all of you, and I’m remembering with great gratitude all the rides Mrs. Kepner gave us to and from soccer practices, games and tournaments as well as putting up with our general teenage nonsense, and doing all the organizing to get us on the field that we teenagers were barely aware of. I also remember well her patience and dedication as a biology teacher; her knowledge was so extensive, and her ability to share that knowledge in exciting ways with students was wonderful. I was lucky to be her student. My deepest condolences.

There are many ways to remember Margaret Kepner. Hundreds of Chapel Hillians remember her as their favorite science teacher. Others, teachers themselves, recall her as a colleague, hard-working and innovative. (She developed a system of teaching science through the scientific method; she had students cover one wall of her classroom with a vast mural depicting a great variety of fish and other sea creatures.) Margaret was a vital factor in the birth and growth of youth soccer in the Triangle area, supporting her husband Bob in his coaching and soccer-related administrative duties. She will be remembered by many who played soccer in Chapel Hill as a constant presence, helping to organize her sons’ teams and making sure that all players and parents had all of the necessary information.
We remember Margaret for all of these reasons, but also as a fellow parent and a good friend. We, and many other soccer parents, could always count on Margaret for help and direction. Entrusted to her and Bob, our kids were safe. And she was a cheerful and encouraging presence at games and practices. Always pleasant and accessible, she could be firm, an ideal parent, when that was what was needed.
We are glad to have known Margaret and send our firm affection for her to Bob, Chip, and Derek. Thank you for sharing Margaret with us for all those years.
George and Jean Houston

Bob, Chip, Derek and your families,
My heart goes out to you all. I was so sorry to hear about Margaret's passing. She was such a generous and thoughtful soul and she put up with all of our nonsense from roughhousing and hanging out at your old Tinkerbell home to the countless carpool trips to soccer practices and games. Your mom was always there to get us back in line or offer up a snack or a warm hello. I am grateful for all that she did for me/us. Without her and Bob, I would never have been able to play the game I love (soccer) at the level I did and for as long as I did.
Please accept my humble condolences and wishes for peace during this difficult time.
Best regards,
Jeff Caiola

Mrs. Kepner was my science teacher at Guy B Phillips Jr High School. She was truly one of my favorite teachers throughout school, and certainly the one who encouraged my interest in science which led to a career I loved very much and in which I felt like I made a difference. Mrs Kepner brought science to life, making it fascinating and fun all at the same time. She was a great person and teacher. I’ve never forgotten her, and truly owe her so much. R.I.P. Mrs Kepner, you were an inspiration to so many!
