Margaret Pahland

1940 - 2022

MARGARET PAHLAND Margaret Pahland was born in 1940 in Washington DC. She received degrees from The College of William and Mary, and Georgetown University in science and microbiology. She came to California to do medical research at the University of California. Margaret met Bill through the couple who managed apartment complexes in San Francisco. They were married at Stanford University on June 7, 1969 and moved to San Mateo where son William Jr was born in 1970 and son Michael was born in 1972. The family relocated to Chico in 1982 where Bill managed nearby hydroelectric developments. Margaret enjoyed their second home on the shores of Lake Almanor where they spent many days summer and winter. Bill retired in 1994 and they traveled the world until COVID hit. She also looked forward to visiting her many friends and attending local dance club activities and other organizations. Margaret was very attached to the family dog-who usually could be found lying next to her as she read or watched TV. Survivors include her Husband, two Sons and their Wives, and three Grandchildren-all whom she dearly loved. Margaret will be missed by all. There will be a grave- side service at the Chico Cemetery on Saturday, October 15th at 11am. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Butte Humane Society. https://buttehumane.org
