She moved with her family to their homestead south of Glenwood, Iowa where she met Morris Terry at a RYP meeting. They were united in marriage on March 31, 1940. To this union, seven children were born and they resided on a farm in Henderson, Iowa for many years. Margaret was active in helping the children with school activities and served as a 4-H Leader and Sunday school teacher along with many other things along the way. In 1959, they moved to the Dean family homestead south of Glenwood. After the children were grown, Margaret went back to attend college classes at Metro Community College in Omaha.

3 Condolences
I don’t know most of your family. I work with Rosalie and met Nancy this summer while she was in NH on vacation.
I do want to express my deep sympathy for your loss. I recently lost both of my parents, and understand how difficult this can be. Cherish your memories and use the support that family and friends offer during this challenging time.
I am Larry Hogya’s sister and would like to extend our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother.
I enjoyed our visit with your mother years ago at our family gathering. She was always ready to join in on conversations and so very interesting to listen to. She will be missed.
Nancy and families: To let you know you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God hold you tenderly and give you His peace. Cherish your memories. Fondly, Doris
