Margaret was raised in Prescott, AZ, graduated from Arizona State University, and taught school for three years before becoming a full time homemaker. She enjoyed cooking, gardening, and painting to a level of excellence. Her caring nature led to 25 years of volunteer service at Presbyterian Community Hospital in Whittier, CA, and at the Nazareth House in Fresno, CA. A loving mother of four children, she was a role model that has no match. Margaret is survived by Al, her husband of 66 years; children, Sheila and husband Chuck, Cindy, Ron and wife Christy, and Mike and wife Cindy; grandchildren, Brian and wife Opal, Diana, Dustin, Robert, Lida, Samuel and Nicholas; and sisters, Melva Nelson and Sue Mahan. She was a caring person who found the good in everyone! A Celebration of Life Mass will be held at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church on Wednesday, March 29, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Nancy Hinds Hospice;
Poverello House; or a charity of your choice.
