Margaret was born June 3, 1928, in Carthage, MO, to Levi and Dorothy “Lewman” Sheldon.

Margaret worked in this business until the plant closed in 1987 after a fire. Never one to be idle, Margaret worked as a lunch lady, as well as a hostess, at the Blue Top Restaurant.

She continued working until she finally retired at the age of 80 and moved back to her hometown of Carthage. Margaret was a 50-year member of Mt. Hope Chapter #74, Order of the Eastern Star, and an active member of the Lamar Methodist Church.

She was a skilled seamstress and sewed many outfits for her daughters, nieces and granddaughters. She enjoyed tending to her flower gardens and helping her neighbors, always with a cat prowling the premises. Margaret was preceded in death by one son, Lloyd Joslen, her parents and her husband.
