May we all have the grace and acceptance when our time comes. May they both rest in peace.She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, siblings, and several nieces and nephews.In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Margaret and Andys name to Peace Hospice, 1101 26th St S, Great Falls, MT 59405.Condolences for the family may be posted online at www.schniderfuneralhome.com.
