Kim, Tammy, Dean and families, I’m so sorry for your loss. When I started at Hallmark, I started out as a packer on her line. She was the sweetest lady, she loved playing bingo… .and my memories of her working part-time at Fuhrs. Margaret was one of a kind, it’s time to take a rest sweet lady.
Margie was such a a beautiful, caring, loving and giving women. She was my second mom all through junior highschool. She would take Tammy and I everywhere and went to every soft ball practice and game we had. Every Friday Margie would take us to Serloin Stockade where we could eat all we want but our favorite was the ice cream maker. I will never forget how much she took care of like her own child. Rest in peace Mama.
Kim, Tammy and Dean ; your mother was a beautiful person. I just
want to thank each of her children for sharing her with your friends. She was always a very loving, caring and supportive figure
in my life. God bless each and everyone of her friends and family
as we celebrate her life and memory.

Margaret was in fact, the hardest working person I’ve ever met. But more than that, the sweetest person, as well. She was like a 2nd Mother to me and will be truly missed.
I was lucky enough to get to know Margaret while working at Hallmark Cards. She was easy and fun to be around, while getting the work done.
I am so sorry to hear of her loss.
What a beautiful picture of your mom. She was a beautiful lady inside, always having a nice sense of humor when we worked together. My mom worked with her at Packers and thought the world of her. Prayers to the family and friends.
