way in 2018 from cancer. She retired at the age of 63 and moved back to Iowa where she reconnected with family. She was able to attend the family picnic on Labor Day of her mother's family and spend time with her great nieces, nephew, and sister. She was able to see her oldest granddaughter graduate from high school. Margaret always had a smile and a positive outlook. Even when she was battling cancer, she never let it stop her from smiling. She will be missed greatly! Margaret lost her battle with cancer and become an angel in heaven on June 28th, 2024. Margaret is survived by two sisters, Judy Roenfeldt & Donna Proctor; two children, Stephanie Sears and Stanley Sears Jr.; one nephew, Joseph Roenfeldt; three great nieces; and one great nephew. She always had the saying "light goes on, light goes off." Even though her light is off, the light of her will never be off in our hearts. A visitation will be held on July 26, 2024 from 4-6:00 p.m. at Grandon Funeral and Cremation Care (414 Lincoln Way, Ames, Iowa 50010).
