Margaret Alice Jurgens

Margaret, formerly of Yuma and Arvada Colorado and most recently from Westminster CO, was loved by her family and friends and although she has passed through the veil to be with her Heavenly Father, her parents, her beloved husband, family, friends and angels, she will be missed by many.

Margaret was known for her love of family, generosity, and gentleness as well as her feisty competitive spirit, and her love of her favorite flowers: orchids and roses.

In addition to raising three wonderful children, Margaret touched many lives over several decades through loyal employment, her community service, tireless volunteer work and tutoring.

She loved reading, playing card games, travel, and watching sports - including the Olympics, the Colorado Rockies and the Denver Broncos. In her early years she played softball, basketball, enjoyed running and later in life she enjoyed golf, gardening and various other hobbies.
