Margaret was a cousin that I only saw a couple of times in my childhood years. But on July of 2021, I lost my husband of 60 years, Glenn, & Margaret got my phone number& called me every few days for about a month or so, just to see how I was doing, & trying to be a comfort to me. I really appreciated her care, & getting to know her a little better.
My condolences to all her family.

Hello our dear Cousins,
Your mom and dad, and you, have been a part of my life from even before the start of my life!! Due to a fall, my mom had to have bed rest the last few weeks before I was born, so Margaret Elaine came to look after my older brothers, my mom and, potentially, me!! So there was a bond there from the beginning! My thoughts are with you all so much just now, this is when Nebraska seems a long ways from NZ. Please just know you are in my thoughts and heart.
With our love,
Reg and Jan

Lanelle, Lyndle, Brian and families,
Thinking of you in your loss! A mother/grandmother always holds a special place in our hearts. I pray the almighty Comforter will hold you a little closer as you journey on without her physical presence. She will be missed. Her testimony shows her beautiful spirit; and may it be with you. I did not realize she was part of the Yung family, kinfolk to Russ (Norma). With love and care, Russ and Evey Horton

We´ve been friends since Kendall and Keith were born. Shared fun times together. Always easy to picture them on the farm south of Bushnell since we had lived there before. Our kids did the harvest run together. Lots of memories!

Knowing the back roads from Kimball to Peetz, Margaret befriended me in 1957. She took me in her car to special meetings and conventions. Over the years we saw each other often. I am glad her suffering is over, but I will miss her. Dorothea Eisele Scottsbluff NE
