Margaret Amador

Mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, returned to her Father-in Heaven 11/5-2025 after having a severe stroke.

She was born December 18, 1923, in San Bernadino, CA. When the Great Depression came, her family moved to Montana to work on a farm for survival. She saw many things in her life, wars, nuclear weapons, development, space travel, freeways, air travel and communication devices.

Margaret had most of her siblings pass away except for one younger sister, Monica Zaragoza. Four of her five children also passed away and her husband Luis.

Survived by her oldest son, Joseph.

Margaret taught her children to work hard, be honest, and to treat people kindly. Mom said keep busy and make every day count.

She will be missed by everyone.
