“Margaret loved her family and spending time with them. She drove for American Red Cross in the past. She delivered Meals on Wheels. She was active in the Christian Women’s Fellowship and the First Christian Church Disciples of Christ. She served as a Deaconess years ago. Margaret was an avid die-hard Chicago Cubs fan. She also enjoyed traveling and playing pinochle, pitch, and going out to eat with friends. Anyone who ever met Margaret knows she was an amazing, beautiful woman who was full of grace and love for all. Her steadfast faith in God was at the center of her life and she lived every day modeling the teachings of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
