generations of children in South Berwyn Illinois School District 100 for

Margaret's extended family and wide circle of friends included those who
shared her love of adventure and gravitated toward her joyful spirit.
Whether she was hiking, canoeing, jeeping, motorcycling, river rafting,
kayaking, scuba diving, snorkeling, paddle boarding, camping or
backpacking, or just sitting with you, she brought an infectious joy to
those she surrounded herself with. Her friends are numerous and loved
her beyond measure for her kindness, generosity, her sense of humor and
love of laughter.
Margaret is survived by her loving husband Lee Neiman, whom she married
in 1982 in Paw Paw, Michigan. She is also survived by her sisters, Rose
Fiala, of Alaska, and Marian Chesney of Indiana, and nieces Julie and
Jenny, and numerous cousins. She is also survived by friends with whom
