Holy Bible, "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints." Psalm 116

Margaret has a steady and kind temperment that I enjoy and she is fun!! Love her very much, as I was a caregiver and friend.

She always had a pot of coffee on and a cake ready in case people stopped by to visit - and they did come to visit her and Zoey, her sweet dog.

I learned alot from Margaret. "Trust in the Lord and you shall be saved into the Kingdom of Heaven one day.

She was like a mother to me.

Love You,

Lisa Kirkham

I was a poor reader until 5th grade, when she became my teacher. She was such an inspiration I was reading at 9th grade level by the end of the year. Now I can read 3 languages in 4 scripts. Thank you Mrs. Siegenthaler

I loved playing the Handbells. I remember her keeping time with her foot and her hands. I attended Sacajawea from 1972-1978

My love of music came from her! So many wonderful memories singing in the choir and playing the bells. Thought of her often over the years.

I still sing the songs I learned at Sacajawea Elementary School. All the kids were able to participate in the school's musical productions. Thanks to Mrs. Siegenthaler, I have many wonderful memories.

I remember being in her choir, singing singing singing. Oh Holy Night is my favorite Christmas music, and because of her I was able to sing it quietly to my father-in-law before he passed... rest in peace Mrs. Siegenthaler, and condolences to her family.

I learned, from her, my love of playing in a bell choir. I do it today for my church and think of Mrs. Siegenthaler every time!

Mrs. Siegenthaler was my grade school music teacher in the 70's. She was perhaps the most influencial teacher that I had. I still play the flute 41 years later. May the knowledge that she enriched so many lives bring warmth to the hearts of those left behind.
