At the age of 88, Margaret died peacefully in the hospital surrounded by family. Born in Bannack, Montana to William and Florence Tessier; was the 6th of 8 children. She lived through the Roaring 20’s, the Great Depression, and World War II. She married George J. Fleck in 1940 and they eventually made their home in Oregon. Throughout her lifetime she enjoyed cooking, canning, gardening, dancing, knitting, crocheting, traveling and crossword puzzles. Always a caring person, she built an addition on to her home and moved her elderly parents from Montana to Oregon so she could take care of them herself.

She was a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, mentor, and friend who will be dearly missed by family and friends alike.
