Burial will follow in the Conde Cemetery under the direction of Paetznick-Garness Funeral Chapel, Groton Visitation will be held at the chapel on Monday from 5-7 p.m. with a prayer service at 7:00 p.m. Margaret passed away Thursday, August 31, 2017 at Groton Care and Rehabilitation Center. Margaret Irene Little was born on January 14, 1926 to Arthur and Lucy (Blake) Little on the home farm at Mellette, SD, the seventh child of ten (5 boys and 5 girls). She attended country school, which was just across from her home. The teacher would stay in the school during winter storms thus she seldom missed any days until high school when a driver picked her up when he brought the teacher to school. She attended Mellette High School for two years when the family moved to Conde, SD in the summer of 1942. At the age of 12 (to help the family) she started working for several farm families, helping with household chores and taking care of the children. Sometimes she was away from home all summer and did not see her family. The family moved into Mellette where she attended high school and graduated in 1944. She did some babysitting and worked thru school for an organization know as NYA helping the teachers. It was through this she learned knowledge of library work. The family moved to Conde and she worked at the Conde News, typesetting the news articles by hand and later by machine. At that time, they had to fold all the papers by hand to make ready for delivery. On March 23, 1943 she was united in marriage to the love of her life, Arista Padfield in Watertown, SD. He died in July 2000. While her children were growing up, she was a Den Mother for The Cub Scouts and a Sunday School teacher. After the children were in school, she started working at the Conde Sundries Store than at local cafes. In 1970, they bought and ran the Little Red Teepee until 1978. When the café in Conde closed, she went to work at the Red Horse Inn in Groton as night cook from 1979 to 1985 when they moved to Veblen, SD. Margaret worked in the Pillow Factory for 10 years. In May 1994, they returned to live in Groton where she started work with the Work Experience for 10 years. This included working in the school library, the school lunch program and in Jan 2005 she began as a Foster Grandparent at St. John’s Lutheran Church in the pre-K program. She dearly loved this work and enjoyed every minute there. Her favorite activities were camping with her husband and going to baseball and softball games. She saw every one of her grandchildren play baseball at one time or another. She dearly loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and never failed to ask what they were doing. Celebrating her life through memories are her children: Arista (Chuck) Padfield, Jr. of Groton, SD, Norbert (Barb) Padfield of Cottonwood, MN, Sandra Blake of Cottonwood, MN, and Betty Maly, of Forman, ND, 6 Grandchildren: Joey (Sabrina) Padfield, Randy (Becca) Padfield all from Aberdeen, SD, Brent (Kayla) Padfield of Cottonwood, MN, Kristy (Ryan) Scepaniak, of Bath, SD, Logan Blake of Marshall, MN and Jesse (Bobbi Jo) Maly of Havana, ND.
