Margaret Sprinkle Obituary

1921 ~ 2011
Our loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, Margaret Lotte Marie Stoffers Sprinkle, born May 9, 1921 in East Berlin, Germany, passed away November 4, 2011. She married Johannes "Jopie" Stoffers on May 31, 1940 in East Berlin; he preceded her in death. She married Raymond V. Sprinkle on July 21, 1987 in Hawaii.
Margaret lived life to the fullest and her two biggest wishes were to come to America to give her children a better life, and to live until she was 90. She accomplished both. She loved playing cards each Sunday with the widower's group, loved to entertain, and loved to go to dances and parties. When she lived in Holland she joined the LDS Church and would invite the missionaries over for dinner. She came to the United State in 1951 with two children. Both her and our father opened a daycare center called, Stoffers Day Nursery School.
Margaret is survived by her four children, Christine Robison, Andy Stoffers, Margie Knapp Peterson (Brent), Debbie Jepperson Fox (Terry); six grandchildren, and thirteen great-grandchildren.
Preceded in death by her husbands; three grandchildren, Brandon and Cade Stoffers, Jason Knapp, and one great-grandchild, Jeremy Kobs.
Funeral services will be held Tuesday, November 8th, 2:00 p.m. at Redwood Memorial Mortuary, 6500 So. Redwood Rd., West Jordan. Friends and Family may visit one hour prior to funeral services. We would like to give a special thanks to Spring Creek Health Care and to the Nursing Staff at Care Source for their loving care given to mom.

Annie, Peggy and I extend our deepest sympathies to your family. Margaret was always upbeat and a pleasure to have in our clinic, regardless of the difficulties she was actually dealing with. It has been a great privilege to be allowed to be part of her life!

I loved her humor. She was so much fun. The "Sheeting" lady at Bonko. She gave me earrings to wear on my first cruise, she took them off her ears and told me they were lucky. When ever I wear them I always think of her. God Bless.

Margie...I love her dearly...she taught me how to say I love you in German....and I love you. I remember her being in our Bunko Group and everyone was a "sheeter"..... She was a remarkable woman. All my love to you and your family.....Cheryl & Peter Sorensen

Dear Margie,

I have so many memories of both your parents. Always watching over you and wanting the best for you. And there is us, young and recentful and knowing better. Remember all the crap we would put them through. They loved you so much and tried so hard to keep you from making the wrong choices. I can still hear your mother saying your name with that intense German accent begging you to listen. She was a good mom. She certainly loved her family. She also had to suffer alot of loss from living such a long life and now she is reunited with all those that have been waiting for her. Your father for one, whos life revolved around her. Can you imagine the joy it is for him to have her home?
I extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family. You were blessed to have such a dear mother for so many years. May you be comforted to know she is there to take care of those gone before her. That your family in heaven is now with both your parents.

Bless you always,

Jeanett Farivar Smokoff
