Born on February 19, 1930 in Durango Colorado and raised in Allison, Colorado, Marguerite graduated from Adam State University with a BA in Elementary Education. After marrying John on July 1, 1953 at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Allison, CO, she moved with him to several different states with his job before settling in Greeley, Colorado in 1959 to begin raising their three children. In 1967 a change in John’s job took their family to Albuquerque, New Mexico until 2011 when they moved to Omaha.
Marguerite was active in her children’s schools helping in their classrooms and the High School media center. She was also active in Annunciation Catholic Church and Bible studies and other faith sharing groups. She was a lifelong member of American Association of University Women, belonged to the Antique Group and served for numerous years on the New Mexico Governor’s Commission on Education.
A fabulous seamstress, Marguerite enjoyed making clothes, doll clothes, and decorations. She also loved needlework, satin stitching, and making every family member a stitched Christmas stocking.
Marguerite loved to chat and learn all about people, especially if they were students. She will be remembered for her thankful spirit, love, kindness, understanding, and wisdom.
