Margaret Rose Dyson

Margaret Rose Dyson, 87, of Sellersburg, Indiana, formerly of Newburgh, passed away on Thursday, June 11, 2026. She was born April 2, 1939 in Evansville to the late Victor and Valeria (Bosecker) Goebel.

Margaret was a devoted member of Newburgh United Methodist Church and Trinity United Methodist Church. She graduated from Henry Ford Community College in Michigan and worked in banking before retiring to raise her family.

She found great joy in crafting, quilting, sewing, and playing Euchre with many groups of friends.
