After the service, they made their home in West Jordan where they continued to live and raise their family. She worked at Becton Dickinson and retired after 22 years.

Margo was a very loving and dedicated mother to her seven children, 26 grandchildren and 35 great grandchildren. She inspired and encouraged them in all of their many pursuits. Her life revolved around supporting her family’s endless activities and accomplishments. We could always count on grandma being there. A strong family bond was a top priority for her. She was a brave warrior who had ongoing endless energy and never complained.

She enjoyed her home being the center of frequent family gatherings, Friday night trips to the movies with her kids and keeping everyone in the know with what’s going on.
