Margaret Louise Lindstrom

Lindstrom, Margaret, a long-time resident of Fullerton, died August 4th. She was born March 23, 1925, in Michigan, to Della and Walter Leiphart. She married her devoted husband William R. Lindstrom, on August 12, 1943, within a few, short weeks after meeting! Her older brother said it would never last. She died 8 days shy of her 76th wedding anniversary. They had three children: William J. Lindstrom, Joanne M. (Lindstrom) Knittle, and Charlene M. Alfaro;  8 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. Margaret was meticulous about homemaking and was a great cook. When she was newly married, during World War II, one of her husband's Navy buddies was homesick for his mother's spaghetti. Margaret prepared the recipe and their guest wept as the spaghetti was exactly as his mother had made it. Margaret loved to quilt and had a natural flair for design and color. She enjoyed sewing, painting and traveling with her husband.  Margaret and Bill moved to Morningside Retirement Community in 2010, where they enjoyed social events with many new friends. She will be missed by all.
