Margaret (Deroin)
Wolfgram completed her journey here on earth and passed peacefully into eternal
life with the Lord on Thursday, August 1, 2013.
She was born on
February 4, 1928 at St. Alphonsus Hospital in Boise to Marie Bruneel and Andre
Deroin of Eagle, ID. She attended
elementary school at Pleasant View in Eagle and graduated from St. Teresa’s
Academy in 1946. She married Alfred
Wolfgram in 1950 and they were married for 62 years. Alfred died in October of 2012.
Margaret held a
variety of job positions from bookkeeping and planting at Milstead Floral to
secretary at First Security Bank, Gate City Steel, and the Quarter Horse office. She was also the first woman Vice President
of the Bank of Idaho for 27 years.
Margaret and Alfred
enjoyed their horses and rode in many horse shows and riding clubs. They farmed near Horseshoe Bend and in
Emmett. She had a great love of animals
and always had a pet cat. Margaret has
lived at Plantation Place the last eight months where she had many friends and
was treated as she said, “Like a queen”.
Our gratitude goes out to all on the staff there who have been so kind
and compassionate to her. They made her
life a joy and helped her show her sense of humor and love for people.
