Margaret Oehlman Obituary
She was born August 23, 1930 in Oakland, California to Terry Elmer Bailey and Mary Gertrude (Weir) Bailey. In 1948 she graduated from Oakland Technical High School. Margaret furthered her education at Armstrong Business College by taking the private secretarial course that lasted fifteen months earning her diploma.
Margaret met her husband, Alvin Otto Oehlman, in 1948 at the Berkeley Ice Arena in Berkeley, California. On June 19, 1949 they were married at her parents' home. They raised two children, Richard Dennis Oehlman and Kathryn Lynn Oehlman. The family moved to Anacortes, Washington in 1956 when Alvin was transferred with Shell Oil Refinery. She attended the First Baptist Church of Anacortes where she volunteered as the secretary for 12 years and was later hired for 12 more years and retired in 1986. Margaret was very active in various church activities. Her interests included ice skating, gardening, reading, sewing, and her many pets. She was also an avid collector of sea shells and was a charter member of the Northern California Malacozoological Club.
