Mothers are basically superheroes on earth. I did not get the chance to meet this superhero but I work with her daughter at my elementary campus and she is amazing, which is a reflection of her mother. I am sending positive vibes, thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Sorry for your loss. She was one special lady! When living at Prairie View apartments my mom and her did some odd painting jobs. I think they laughed more than they painted. So many great memories.
Melanie, I am so incredibly sorry! Your mother was such a light and someone who was beautiful inside and out. We were so blessed to have known her! Praying for you and your family!
We are so sorry you lost your mom. We will keep your family in our prayers. -Jim and Cyndi Chlup
We grew up in the same neighbor as Margaret. She was older, but I remember Gerald driving us to school for a few years . Alan and Dorothy were in the same grade. Their farm house was always interesting as would be greeted by the ducks, dogs, and other farm aminals.
Krieger family – I am so very sorry for your loss. Your sweet mom & grandma, Marge, was a bright light in this world. She always had a smile, a friendly and welcoming spirit, a fun story and a joyful heart. I know she adored each of you! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you grieve and reflect on her beautiful life. She will be missed greatly. Sending you love and prayers, Tiffany and Emma
