She was surrounded by family leading up to her death. Margy was born June 17th, 1935, on the family farm in Lincoln County, northwest of Gothenburg, Nebraska, to Alton and Anna (Stevens) Peterson. Margy attended country school in Gothenburg through eighth grade and graduated with the Gothenburg High School Class of 1951 at the age of 15. Margy was a member of St. Ann’s Catholic Church. She was united in marriage to the love of her life, Donald Hennek, at St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Lexington on September 3, 1956. Seven daughters blessed this marriage: Deb, Kim, Karla, Kyle, Jennifer, Lisa and Lori. Over the years, she held various positions including Northwestern Bell Telephone Company, Dawson County Clerk’s office, co-owner and manager of MarLou’s clothing store, Westside Care Home and Betsy’s Bobbins in Loomis. Margy was also a beautiful seamstress and worked for an interior designer where she helped create and sew many lovely home furnishings. However, she felt her most rewarding job was raising her seven beautiful daughters. Margy’s love for sewing kept her busy through the years as she sewed dresses for all of her daughters for many special occasions and holidays. We feel she was the creator of the new Christmas pajama trend as she created beautiful pajamas for her daughters, sons-in-law and grandchildren for many years. After her daughters were raised and left home, she discovered her passion for quilting. At the time of her death, she had made over 25 quilts plus many additional works of art. This passion has been passed down to her daughters and grand-daughters. Margy was active in bible studies with family and friends, her Wednesday coffee group and Moving On group. She enjoyed knitting, crocheting, reading and putting puzzles together with family. She also delighted in spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was looking forward to the birth of her first great granddaughter in February and another great grandchild in June. Survivors include seven daughters, Deb (Jim) Tuepker of Lexington, Kim Hall (late John Hall) of Omaha, Karla (David) Zlatkovsky of Lexington, Kyle (Mike) Andersen of West Des Moines, IA, Jennifer (David) Bennett of Omaha, Lisa (Craig) Mears of Chandler, AZ and Lori (Kurt) Weinberg of Colorado Springs, CO; four sisters, Virginia (Ray) Rieker, Eustis, Glenda (David) Walker, Eustis, Beverly Drullinger, Overland Park, KS, Karen (Ivan) Vrtiska, Omaha, and three sisters-in-law, Carolyn Peterson, Gothenburg, Joanne Winter, Papillion and Darlene Trautmann, Johnson Lake.
