Margaret Eastwood Obituary
1932 - 2020
Margaret Ellen Horsley Eastwood passed away May 12, 2020 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Born March 15, 1932 in Salt Lake City, to Kenneth Albert Horsley and Della Margaret Bertelson. She married Joseph Eastwood September 27, 1950 in the Salt Lake Temple. She attended Jackson Elementary, Jackson Jr. High, West High School and one year at the University of Utah.
Margaret was the best stay at home mom. She and Joe were active members of the LDS Church in the Rose Park North 6th Ward. They worked together in the Boy Scouts of America Program for 36 years. Both earned their Silver Beaver Award. Crafting writing, crocheting, playing cards, camping with her family on the Snake River, making candy, making people laugh at her humorous readings and being a member of Daughters of Utah Pioneers were all things she loved to do.
She is survived by her children: Susan JoAnne Hatsis (Steve), Mesquite, NV; DonnaJoy Hall (David), SLC, UT; KC (Kenneth) Eastwood, Bellevue, NE; Marche' Dellene Benson (John), Lehi, UT; brothers Donald Horsley (Rhonda) Wellsville, UT; Richard Horsley (Violet) Midvale, UT; Dallas Church (Mary), St. George, UT; sisters Marlene Jones (Jack), St. George, UT; Kenna Romano (Corby), Draper, UT; sister-in-law Connie Coates of SLC, UT. Preceded in death by her husband Joseph Eastwood; parents Kenneth and Della Horsley; step-mother Fern Horsley; brother Randy Horsley and many sisters and brothers-in-law.
We want to thank Huntsman Home Care for all the love and devotion they showed her the last weeks of her life. To all her friends and staff at the The Chateau, she loved everyone there and loved all the contests, especially winning them.

Dear Eastwood Family
I remember growing up in the Rose Park 6th Ward and spending time in the home of Joe & Margaret Eastwood. It was a warm and welcoming home and love was always shown to everyone who entered there. To Donna, whom I remember best and to the rest of the Eastwood Family I offer my sincere condolences at the loss of your sweet mother. A very loving and wonderful angel will always be watching over you.

Such a wonderful woman. Good friend to mom. Sweet memories of her every time we saw her. Thankful to be able to see Captain Kangaroo in person per a long ago birthday party for her daughter (arranged by her) and to be able to take mom to visit her for a while before mom passed away. Bless her loving family in this time of her loss and hope the angels are watching over you all. She would be one of them.

Margaret and Joe were such stalwarts of our Rose Park community...always willing to lend a helping hand...our middle son Scott was guided through some of the scouting programs by them. I still have a cinnamon roll received from Margaret. I make them every year for Christmas breakfast for our family. Wonderful woman...

My husband and I love Joe and Margaret as friends, neighbors and fellow scout leaders. They put the fun in everything. They really practiced KISMIF - Keep It Simple Make It Fun! We miss them and send our love to their family

Margaret and Joe were very kind to our family when we lived just a block away in Rose Park. Margaret was a great lady at all times our children remember her with love.

I remember Margaret from years ago, when my family was still very young. I remember her as always being kind and gentle. May Heavenly Father bless her family with blessings from above. R.I.P., dear Margaret!
