People were truly important to Margo, she was fun loving, easy to talk to, and continued to make friends right up to her last day. Animals were also close to Margo's heart and she was active in supporting the humane society and no kill shelters. Margo was an adventurous soul and would try pretty much anything once. Her retirement 2 years ago came at a perfect time. Margo was able to fully pursue her fun loving side by traveling, attending concerts, and spending time with friends. She had a wide diversity of friends ranging from housekeepers to high level executives and teenagers to octogenarians. Her diverse interests were also reflected in her concert tickets to everyone from Pink to Garth Brooks and Bette Midler to the Beetles Tribute. Among her experiences Margo's love of travels took her to Alaska, Europe, Hawaii, Mazatlan, Dominican Republic, Mediterranean and many trips to see her close friends in Chicago and Kansas City. Her sudden death came as a shock to everyone who knew and cared about her. She was a dear friend, sister, and aunt. Margo was loved, and she will be missed.
