Margaret (Deroin) Wolfgram completed her journey here on earth and passed peacefully into eternal life with the Lord on Thursday, Aug. 1, 2013.
She was born on Feb. 4, 1928 at St. Alphonsus Hospital in Boise, Idaho, to Marie Bruneel and Andre Deroin of Eagle, Idaho. She attended elementary school at Pleasant View in Eagle and graduated from St. Teresa's Academy in 1946. She married Alfred Wolfgram in 1950 and they were married for 62 years. Alfred died in October of 2012.
Margaret held a variety of job positions from bookkeeping and planting at Milstead Floral to secretary at First Security Bank, Gate City Steel and the Quarter Horse office. She was also the first woman vice president of the Bank of Idaho for 27 years.
Margaret and Alfred enjoyed their horses and rode in many horse shows and riding clubs. They farmed near Horseshoe Bend and in Emmett. She had a great love of animals and always had a pet cat. Margaret has lived at Plantation Place the last eight months where she had many friends and was treated as she said, "Like a queen." Our gratitude goes out to all on the staff there who have been so kind and compassionate to her. They made her life a joy and helped her show her sense of humor and love for people.
Margaret is survived by her sister, Sister Mary Louise Deroin, CSC; a brother and sister-in-law, Michael and Sharron Deroin; a sister, Barbara Brown; and a sister-in-law, Barbara Jean Deroin; six nephews and nieces, Cheryl Deroin, Steve Deroin, John Deroin, Michelle Haga, Donald Deroin and Kevin Brown. She is also survived by numerous cousins and great nieces and nephews.
