Margaret M. Niebrugge, 96, beloved mother, and friend to many, died Thursday, February 2.

Born in Evansville, Indiana, on June 12, 1926. She and her husband married very young, just before he started a three-year around-the-world tour known as WWII. Although she sometimes worked part-time jobs, her real career was being a wife and mother. She came from a family of five brothers and one sister.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Donald G. Niebrugge. She was the mother of Ladonna Beal, Constance Taylor (deceased) and Myron Niebrugge. She was the grandmother to Mark Beal, Kelly Kidd, Cyndi Collins, Angela Fales and Brian Niebrugge. Great grandchildren were Jeff Kidd, Cheyenne Simmons, Simon Zilch, Connor Fales, Noah Fales, and America Collins.

Margaret's main focus in life was her family. Every member was covered in prayer as she knelt by her bed every night. She will be greatly missed.

Funeral Service at Gateway Church of the Nazarene, 11703 Old St. Charles Rd., Bridgeton, MO, Friday, February 10, 23 at 11a.m. Interment at Lake Charles Park Cemetery will be private.
