Margaret Torgerson

Margaret L. Torgerson, 75, passed away Jan. 29, 2008.

She was born July 25, 1932, in Missoula, to Fred and Margaret Berglund. She met and married Thomas G. Torgerson in August 1959 and lived in Olney until her passing.

She was a stay-at-home mom and made beautiful wedding cakes out of her home for people in the valley. Later, she went to work at American Timber with her sister-in-law, Minnie, cleaning the office. They enjoyed the time together.

She was preceded in death by her husband Tom in September 2005.

Margaret is survived by two children, Melissa, of Washington, and Jason, of Whitefish; seven grandchildren, Marcus, Ashley, Jade, Skylar, Alexie, Logan and Shawna; sister-in-law Minnie Torgerson; nieces Norma McBroom and Terry DuBois; nephews Phillip and Freddie Torgerson; great nieces Sarah and Raeanna; great nephews Lance and Caleb; and numerous loving family and friends who will miss her.

A double memorial service for Margaret and Tom will take place at the Olney Fire Department on Feb. 23, 2008, at 1 p.m. with a potluck lunch afterward.

The family would like to send a special thank you to everyone for all they've done for Margaret and Tom in the past.
