Margaret brought her best to this life by living in the moment and doing it well. She will be remembered for her gentle nature coupled with a healthy dose of perseverance and “can do” spirit. That combination inspired her children and equipped them with the skills to succeed in their future endeavours. A loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend whose longevity undoubtedly was cut short. Nevertheless, Margaret will continue to live on in the most cherished thoughts and traditions of her loved ones; which is comprised of many…..from Klaus and their children, nine grandchildren, her siblings and many friends as they travel along the bike paths of the great outdoors.

A gorgeous photo and lovely written tribute to a beautiful lady. Margaret's legacy of family and friends is testament to a life well lived; sadly cut way too short. May her memory bring you strength and blessings. My condolences to all.

Always grateful to have been included in your family dinners, Leah, seeing your mom, dad and the entire family. The day at your grandma’s was especially beautiful, with four generations of lovely women.

My favorite day with your mom was playing pickle ball with you, your mom and your aunt!

Your mom did exude warmth and acceptance. Always humble and down to earth. Conversations always being real and unpretentious. I loved that about your mom! Xo

I met Margaret and Laura at fitness classes. Laura has a very funny sarcastic wit. It was lots of fun to work-out bedside Laura! Margaret was more introspective. She motivated me to push harder as I watched her keep up with women much younger. Margaret was serious about her health goals.

We talked about family as we walked around the fitness track.

Visiting with Margaret at the gym was always the best time. I miss her straining face as we pushed to be strong grandmothers. I admired her thick wavy hair and tall athletic body. She was beautiful on the inside and out.

Best wishes Margaret on your next journey.

Beyond sad to see this but also super happy to be able to remember her as one amazing human!

She used to light up talking about Klaus, her 3 kids and her awesome grand children. She was one proud parent and grand parent. She will be forever missed but never forgotten. I talked about her already today and I don’t see that ever changing :) Biggest hug ever to her family
