Obituary

Margaret D. Roberts, "Margo", went peacefully home to our Lord on Tuesday, January 10. Margo was born on January 14, 1953, in Kalamazoo, the daughter of Darwin and Doris Sanford, who preceded her in death. Margo is survived by her loving husband Art, her two daughters, MiChele (Mark) Ferrier and Marsha Martin and her grandson Ethan McDonald, who recently earned the rank of Eagle Scout and brought her immense pride and joy. She is also survived by her loving brother Steve (Iris) Sanford, mother-in-law Doris Schuiteboer and many other family members and loving friends who considered her family. Margo enjoyed a full life with a variety of accomplishments and far-reaching interests. Over the years she was employed at Parker, a beloved school bus driver for Otsego Public Schools, a licensed hairdresser and was a realtor at Cornell and Associates. As a nature lover Margo had achieved her Master Gardner certificate and enjoyed sharing her love and vast knowledge of plants and flowers with everyone. Her beautiful gardens were a labor of love. Also an avid hunter and fisher, Margo had even traveled to Africa for a hunting safari trip and was featured on a filming for Steve's Outdoor Adventures with her record book entry for a trophy waterbuck. A people person at heart Margo was a friend to anyone she met. As a faithful member of the Otsego United Methodist Church Margo enjoyed attending Sunday school and Bible study. She loved to travel, going to the movies and visiting with friends. Margo was a gift to all who knew her and will be remembered for her wonderful smile and contagious laugh. Her strength, love, faith and compassion were an example to all and her amazing grace was shown throughout her recent battle with leukemia. Cremation has taken place and a celebration of Margo's life will be held on Saturday, January 14, which would have been her 64th birthday, at Otsego United Methodist Church at 11:00 A.M. with a luncheon following at the church. At Margo's request, in lieu of flowers please send memorials or donations to Hope Lodge, The American Cancer Society in Grand Rapids or the Otsego United Methodist Church.
