Personal note from Margaret-Anne's Family: Todd, Brian, Eric & Anne

After a full life of 90 years, our beloved mother has left this world to be welcomed into the arms of her Lord along with family and friends that have gone before her. To her family, she was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. To her friends, she was
known for her kindness, generosity and grace. She had the gift of hospitality and the ability to make friends wherever she went.

Margaret-Ann was blessed with a loving husband, Wilbur, for 50+ years along with four children (Todd, Brian, Eric & Ann), six grandchildren (Aaron, Scott, Laura & Noel, Brycen & Coby) and 2 great-grandchildren (Milo & Edie).

We invite you to gather with us for her memorial service in Preston, Kansas on September 4, 2021 either in person or via live stream. The details are below. Please also sign-up for email updates for the memorial and to this memorial site.

We also invite you to share memories and photos of Margaret-Ann on this site...
