Margaret was a 1950 graduate of Farmington High School. She loved spending time with family and friends. She had two passions: first was collecting pig related items including any cookie jars, towels, ceramic items, calendars and anything she could find. Second was the joy of putting puzzles together (that way she could always keep company longer) For many years Margaret helped the family on the farm and later worked at Sheaffer Pen Co. in Fort Madison.
