You can see a lot of it from the previews from the free searches, although it jumps around a bit.  Here's what I got from the portion under Page 26 article text (OCR) on https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/144407953/

"MARGARET F.W. WATTS, 86, of BRIELLE, died Tuesday at-home. She taught physical education and swimming at Horace Mann School and Columbia Teacher's College. She participated in the 1932 Olympic trials in swimming, performing the backstroke. She was co-founder of the Point Pleasant Hospital Guild in 1949, and served as its first president. She worked tirelessly for the improvement of Point Pleasant Hospital for almost 50 years. In 1966, she was the first woman "appointed to the board of trustees of the Medical Center of Ocean County. She held the office of secretary until 1994, when she was made trustee emeritus. She served as chairman of the Building Committee and was a member of the Hospital Foundation. In 1984, the maternity wing was named the Margaret F.W. Watts Woman's Pavilion in her honor. In 1994, the Margaret F.W. Watts Volunteer Leadership Award was established to perpetuate her good works. A devout Episcopalian, she was a member of Church of St. Uriel the Archangel, Sea Girt, where she taught Sunday school and vacation Bible school. She was involved with the Couples Club and the Youth Group as an adviser. She was a member of St. Uriel's Guild, serving as president and treasurer. She was a member of St. Uriel's Altar Guild, holding the position of directress for more than 40 years. She was an associate of the Order of the Community of St. John Baptist, Mendham. She was involved with many organizations over the years, such as the Brielle Elementary School PTA, the Brielle Public Library, the American Cancer Society, and the Girls Scouts of America. She was a 50-year member of the Sea Girt Woman's Club, and an honorary life member of the Manasquan River Yacht Club. She was past trustee of the Monmouth Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. She attended Horace Mann School, New York, and Bouve Boston School. She received her bachelor's degree and master of education degree from Columbia Teacher's College in 1935. Born in Manhattan, she lived in Brielle, Trenton, and in San Diego before returning to , Brielle. She spent the summers . at the Shore in the early 1920s. Her husband of 56 years, Richard N. Watts, retired president and chairman of Manasquan Savings and Loan, died in 1997."

After that, it mentions surviving family members, followed by "All services will be private at the convenience of the family. Burial will be in East Ridgelawn Cemetery, Clifton. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in her memory to Cerebral Palsy of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, 1701 Kneeley Blvd., Wanamassa, NJ 07712, or St. Catharine's Pastoral Care Office, 212 Essex Ave., Spring Lake, NJ 07762. O'Brien Funeral Home, Wall, is in charge of arrangements."

Since someone else who is a paying member has made a clip on that page, that page is now FREEVIEW. Close that other clip and you will see all the other obits on that page. That page was scanned sideways so use the controls on the right to rotate the page.
