Margaret was a dear and loyal friend to many and she made their lives richer and brighter. Mom was always the first one to call us on our birthdays. We will miss that. She loved to talk on the phone and kept us all informed. Margaret loved babies and we were all so fortunate and grateful that she would babysit and spend time with our children and grandchildren. She was generous with her time and volunteered at the church and condo and for Meals on Wheels for several years. You did not want to be her opponent at a game of Kaiser, she was ferocious.
