Margaret Horton Obituary
Margaret embraced others. She spent 15 years working as the administrative coordinator for UKSM, a Ryan White program. Her key responsibilities included organizing the dental clinic, where she made many friends, and playing a significant role in planning and executing fundraising events. She valued the time spent and relationships made through her work. She was a hard worker who was never afraid of a challenge.
As a resident of Wellington for more than 50 years, she made a positive impact on many lives, especially her daughters'. She was very active in her community, volunteering for many organizations including First Christian Church, the Chisholm Trail Museum, the Wellington Planning commission, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters among others. She was a member of the Kansas Heartland Girl Scout leadership, youth softball coach, Sunday school teacher, and school secretary. Every year, she looked forward to her role in hiding the Wheat Festival Medallion.
She is predeceased by her father, R. Dean Pressler, and mother, Marjorie Presser.
Margaret's survivors include her daughters, Terri Rehkop and husband John of Huntersville, NC and Traci Horton of The Colony, TX and grandchildren, Audrey Loub, Benjamin Loub, and Brady Rehkop.

I just got back from two week vacation and got news about Margaret. Life is sooo short and this news is very sad. Margaret and I went to Dawson grade school together as well as HPHS. I considered her a good friend and have thought of her several times over the years. I remember as kids me and some of our rowdy friends use to love teasing her little brother about his inability to say the word truck(you can imagine what word he actually used). Margaret would get embarrassed and turn red every time we did it, but she was a good sport and always laughed with us. Good bye Margaret-rest well! Michael Patterson

Margaret was a great friend , great playmate , we grew up as neighbors . we had lots of fun . I don't ever remember any kind of argument . Her dad took us to the bowling ally on accession . it was a learning lesson for me . I was made aware to all the names of cars on the trips to the bowling ally . She was smart & witty . Last time I saw her was at her fathers funeral . I figured I would see her again. Life is sometimes cut to short . I still think of her . I am so sorry for your loss.
