in Loudes, IA. The couple was married for 65 years and continually shared that
companionship through the good and hard times. Charles and Margaret farmed
near Dougherty, IA and later Lime Springs, IA, and Osage, IA. Margaret learned to be
resilient, and strong while working on the farm; yet composed and compassionate
while taking care of her children. She was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic
Church in Staples and walked strongly and passionately in her faith. Most recently
Margaret enjoyed making beaded necklaces, bracelets, and snakes for her family
members; she also loved flowers and birds. Above all else she loved her husband,
children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and extended family and friends
beyond words.


Margaret is survived by her daughters, Colleen Weber, Sandra Sneed; grandchildren,
Michelle “Micky” (Elvis Blesi) Weber, Mark (Miranda Eckert) Weber; great
grandchildren, Bianca and Owen Weber, Jaxton Eckert; sister-in-laws, Patty Smith,
Lenora Bielefeld and many nieces, nephews and extended family.
She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Loretta; husband, Charles;
sons, Patrick and Joseph; infant daughter, Mary; and sister, Mary (Phil) Moore;
sister-in- law, JoAnn (Warren) Smith; brother-in-laws, Walt, Daryl, William Bielefeld,
