Her husband, Gordon MacDonald, was a noted geophysicist, academician, VP and Chief Scientist of The MITRE Corporation and advisor to several U.S. Presidents on environmental issues; he died in 2002.

Stone MacDonald’s affiliation with Grace Cottage Hospital dates
back to her childhood. “My parents, Shep and Charlotte Stone, were
friends of Carlos and Ruth Otis’s,” Margaret recalled. “In fact,
Dr. Otis was responsible for finding a wonderful house for my parents
to buy in South Newfane, the house that I enjoy so much!”
