She moved to Minneapolis at age 10, and later attended Edison High School and MN Business College, which secured her job at Northrup-King Seed Company. A blind date set up by her co-worker, Ruth Lindquist, led her to meet Ruth's brother, Elmer. Margaret and Elmer married during the war in 1944, with Margaret having only one week's notice to plan the wedding during Elmer's leave. They raised 3 children and enjoyed 56 years together in MN and Naples, FL. After Elmer's death in 2000, Margaret was blessed to marry a second wonderful man, Lloyd Bachman. Margaret and Lloyd had 7 lovely years together until his death in 2010. Margaret continued to live independently at Lake Pulaski in the summers and Naples in the winters up to age 99 1/2. She was thankful to have found the caring community at Park Terrace Assisted Living in Buffalo for 4 years and Park View Care Center for her final years. Thank you to all the dedicated and loving staff at both facilities.
