Margaret was a constant source of unconditional love, a fiercely competitive spirit with anyone who ever played a game of cards with her and a woman who put a smile on the face of everyone who heard her sing, “You Are My Sunshine.” We love you Mom. “To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides,” David Visotl. Margaret is survived by her daughter, Tammy (Fred) Palmer, Gurley, AL; her son, Troy (Christi) Nistler, Windsor, CO; her sisters, Pauline (Ben) Ehrmantraut, Joan (Cliff) Wilson, Delores Page, Deb (Doug) Haefner, all of Bismarck; her brothers, John (Shirley) Fode, Albert (Birdie) Fode, Art (Deb) Fode, all of Bismarck; and Bob (Theresia) Fode, Mandan; three grandchildren, Nicholas, Neil, and Rochelle; and four great-grandchildren.
