Margaret Mary Kauffmann

When one learns of their love language, it becomes a part of them. Margaret Mary Kauffmann’s love language was showing others, through thoughtful actions and affection, how much she loved them. Whether she offered to run out and grab last minute details for a party, support her friends through tough times, or simply offer to get up and make a snack for her loved ones, she never flinched at the idea of helping others feel like they mattered and feel like they were loved, 

From being a yoga instructor and teaching her students the deep-rooted meaning of Namaste through their rigorous poses, to being a caregiver and companion to adults in need, Margaret thrived at living for others.

Margaret’s circle of life not only included those in her yoga classes, and the adults she cared for, she also volunteered her time as a tour guide in an old Victorian home while teaming with ladies to create engaging tablescapes for the public to see and vote on. In addition, during Margaret’s early years, she was a top award-winning salesperson for a reputable company, a dynamic tour guide, and a co-owner of a restaurant. Her ability to guide others, build on their creativity, and be seen as an individual who went above and beyond in any duty, Margaret’s service didn’t go unnoticed.

Margaret’s act of service continued in her personal life. Her unwavering love for her family was never questioned. From dressing her children in the same clothes, finding that perfect gift just to see the smile that came with it, or to be the hand of support in any circumstance, Margaret went out of her way to make sure the people in her family knew how much she loved them. 

When one thinks about how much love is given to another, nobody did it better than Margaret. While traveling to Disneyland or other busy public places, she would dress her son and daughter in the same clothes (which she made). This way she could find them if they ever got separated. That was love! Her children were her number one priority. From cheering on the Michael Jackson phase in her son, to pushing her daughter into teaching, she was their biggest fan. She was so proud to witness how each of them grew up, had their own families, and became independent good people. 

Margaret went out of her way to let the people in her family and in her circle know that they were very special to her: having spoon wars at the table during the holidays, clenching a nearby hand and listening to George Winston while trekking over a dangerous snow packed mountain, being a considerate hostess who thought of everyone’s needs, never forgetting birthdays, giving beautiful, thoughtful gifts, laughing and making memories while in Blackhawk and Village Inn. These are only a few examples that demonstrated Margaret’s ability to show her acts of service. 

During her lifetime, Margaret had a deep love of living creatures, especially dogs. She brought home many dogs and trained them. She even trained a rabbit. These animals became an integral part of her life. 

Margaret was born June 9,1940 in Denver Co. She passed away on Sept 3rd 2024. She was 84.

She is survived by her two children, John Kauffmann from Pismo Beach, California and Kim Hutchison from Aurora, Colorado; Grandchildren Brandon, Courtney and Dillon; Great grandchildren Beau, Marshall, and one on the way due in Nov; Siblings Barbara Coyle of Greeley, Colorado and Danny Coyle of Greeley, Colorado; Nieces Debbie, Kathe and Rebecca. 

God gained a beautiful angel, and she will be dearly missed. Till we meet again.
