While residing at the Ridgewood Rehabilitation and Care Center, Seward, Nebraska, after a lengthy illness, Margaret was granted a peaceful death as the Lord took her home to rest in the arms of Jesus Christ to await the resurrection of the dead. On March 5, 1930 she received the gift of Holy Baptism and became a child of God. On May 27, 1945 she publicly confessed her faith and was confirmed in the Lutheran Christian faith and began to also receive the precious gift of forgiveness in the Lord's Supper. She lived in Norfolk throughout most of her life. She graduated from Norfolk Senior High School in May of 1948. She completed a two-year training course at the former Norfolk Junior College in 1950 and taught in the Stanton Public Schools from 1950 to 1952. On July 2, 1951 she was joined in marriage to LeRoy Richard Sommerfeld of Norfolk. They were blessed with the gift of five children, Russell, Elaine, Priscilla, Peggy and Scott. God blessed Margaret's life with many special people as she served the Lord as wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, piano teacher, church organist, choir director, and choir accompanist. God gave her an enduring love for His gift of music. She had precious memories of playing for some well-known choir directors. She was thankful for the many opportunities God gave her to serve congregations, pastors and choirs. Accompanying the Lutheran High School Northeast Choir of Norfolk brought her special delight. She loved to make music to the Lord and lead His people in worshipping Him with music. She imparted this love for music to her immediate and extended family. She and her husband were blessed by membership and the ministry at each Mt. Olive Lutheran Church, Christ Lutheran Church and Grace Lutheran Church of Norfolk over their years. In her last years God granted her a membership and ministry at St. John's Lutheran Church in Seward, Nebraska. Margaret enjoyed God's great outdoors through gardening and fishing with her husband.
