The former Margaret Ethel Peterson was born April 20, 1930, in Rock Island, Illinios, the daughter of Marc and Goldie (Hammond) Peterson. She married Roy Stottler on December 20, 1947, in Geneseo, Illinios, and the couple had four children before separating. She then married Terry Dehls on April 8, 1972, in Moline.

Margaret had a knack for decorating her home to look beautiful. She loved to shop at thrift stores and garage sales. She loved animals, and she spoiled many pets in her life. Above all else, family was the most important thing to her.

Margaret is survived by her husband, Terry, her children, Kenneth (Janet) Stottler of Henderson, Nevada, Kathleen (Paul) Stumphy of Moline, and Virginia "Ginger" (Kevin) Dreifurst of Des Moines: eight grandchildren: 11 great-grandchildren; and Terry's siblings, Shirley Thomas of Florida, Ruth Andrews of Moline, Jean Marie Dehls of East Moline, and Stanley Dehls of New Jersey. She was preceded in death by a daughter, Sharon Krogman; a grandson, Matthew Dreifurst; her parents; and a brother, Floyd Robert Peterson.
