After their marriage, John and Margaret started their family and eventually settled down on their family farm in Decorah, IA, in 1958. They were members of the Decorah Lutheran Church for many years and were very strong in their faith. Margaret worked at Wapsie Produce, in Decorah, IA, for about 10+ years. She was a farmer and homemaker who was an expert in gardening, canning, sewing, and caring for her family and extended family. She loved to relax by playing games of Euchre, Penuchle, Solitaire, Gin Rummy, as well as doing crossword puzzles. She was known as a card shark, winning almost every card game that she played.
