Margaret lived an adventurous life, whether it be camping or fishing or just trying to catch that big one. She loved her pets, her flower garden, and especially her family. Margaret found joy in spending time with the babies and grandchildren or hosting a big family dinner. She enjoyed cooking and being able to pass down some great recipes to her children and grandchildren. Margaret was a fearless and courageous woman who loved to help others when in need and to love them unconditionally.
