Margaret's obituary

Margaret Maria Kempf (Gutina) was born December 9, 1933 in Breitenstein, Austria. She passed away quietly in Hospice Care at the age of 90 years old on March 20, 2024.

Margaret and her late mother, Maria moved to Munich when she was young and survived WW2 unrest and the aftermath that followed. Years later, she met her husband, Pedro Gutina, who was in the Army and stationed in Germany. Before his departure, they wed and he took her back to the United States where they started a family and traveled the country with the Army until they divorced in 1981, settling in Hawaii until she moved to Texas in 2022 to live with her son in Haper, Texas.

Pedro loved Margaret until his dying day in 1992. They had four children together. She leaves behind three, Gloria Moretz (Gutina), Richard Gutina, and Suzanne Johnson. She will be joining her third child, Mahiliani Gutina. She is also survived by her three granddaughters, Rachel Carrillo, RikkiRene' Kaia, and Randi Gutina, along with her two great grandchildren (from Rikki), Lokela Kaia and Wai Kaia. In Rodalben, Germany her younger sister Bridgette Loreth and her two sons, Josef and Martin Loreth are alive and well.

If you wish to donate, please provide your donations to your local animal shelter. Margaret was a great animal advocate and spent most of her life devoted to caring for lost animals and hope others will carry on the same care in her memory.
