I loved Mrs. Stieglitz. She was my Sunday School teacher at First Methodist and then I knew her for many years after that. She always greeted people with the warmest, most genuine voice, and I always felt treasured when we talked. My deepest sympathy to your family; but I have faith and courage in her passing knowing that Margaret will light Heaven up and that she will do all she can to take care of others from above.
God's blessings and my prayers to your family

Margaret and Bob have been our best friends for about 45 years. We send our sympathy to the entire family and know Margaret is comfortable up there! She was a very positive person. She was ready to go and is visiting with many friends/family members and catching up with my Mom, Faith Wheeler and, giving everyone an update on what the Democrats need to do!

Margaret will be deeply missed - as she left an impact on many lives, including ours and our children. We have many fond memories of her; and she will remain in our thought and hearts. Our son will be especially disappointed he was unable to show Margaret his son, Welby.

God never made a finer woman. We left Wausau in 1984 but never forgot our friendship with Bob and Margaret. Such a great couple. We can still hear Margaret laugh! Our sincere condolences to Bob and Margaret. Sending hugs and our love.
