Margaret is preceded in death by her parents, a half-sister and two half-brothers, she being the youngest. She is the daughter of the late Anna Theresa Blohm Jayne and John Whitaker Jayne. She was born in Grand Junction, Colorado and attended Fruitvale District High School graduating in 1955 from Western High School Denver, Colorado. After graduation she held secretarial aide and secretary positions. Margaret went to work for the Department of Energy in Grand Junction in 1960 as a secretary and transferred to Denver, Colorado in 1963 to The Atomic Energy Commission. She later transferred to Forth Worth Texas Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 1974, where she held the position of Secretary to The Administrator, at retirement. Margaret retired from The Federal Government in 1988. She worked from 1960 to 1988, twenty-eight years and was honored by Co-workers and The National Retired Employee Association.

She enjoyed traveling with church groups and friends, which included a nice trip to England in 1974. She modeled clothes for various groups and helped with volunteer work. She enjoyed many hobbies throughout the years. She played accordion, bowled, crocheted, tatted, knitted, sewed her own clothing and she loved to cook and dance and painted in oils. She loved "sayings" and collected them such as, "the only way he gets any place is to stick his neck out," with a picture of "Mr. Turtle." She liked turtles.

A Celebration of Life Luncheon was held for Margaret on the 25th. of February, in Arlington Texas, by her fellow co-workers and best friend of 48 years and is much appreciated.

Margaret's last days were spent in Nursing care as was her wish. Her ashes have been interred in her own private grave within steps of family at The Masonic Cemetery in Silver City, New Mexico.

Appreciations are extended to ARCY Hospice and Noble Cremations of Texas and to Silver City Masonic Lodge number 8 and Terrazas Funeral Chapel of Silver City, New Mexico by Margaret's Niece Virginia Payne and her husband James Payne of Silver City New Mexico.
