Margaret was born Sept. 26, 1946, the beloved daughter of William and Ruth

Pueschel. She was raised in Santa Monica, Calif., before moving to Cedar Rapids. She married David Yancey on Nov. 19, 1967. He passed away in June of 2003. She worked at Turner Microphone for two years, Norand Corporation for 10 years and MCI for 16 years, before retiring in 2004.

She made many friends along the way and shared many laughs and tears with them, and was touched by their love and support during the saddest of times. She said "their friendships and kindness were key in helping her family through them."

She will be remembered for her quick wit, sense of humor, her smile and zest for life. She was a good friend and a wonderful Mom who loved her family. She helped people who needed help and didn't ask for much in return just love and friendship. She will be missed.
