Margaret Louella Mills Williams Hadley, our cherished mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on Monday, March 23, 2015.  Margaret was born on December 23, 1921 in Webster City, Iowa, the second oldest child of Bernard and Elizabeth Rosella Mills.

Hadley on November 30, 1996. Derlin and Margaret spent 16 wonderful years together traveling, enjoying life, and each other’s company.  Derlin passed away on September 24, 2012.

She retired after 25 years from the Pediatric Nursing at McKay Dee Hospital.

Margaret was a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in many callings.  She was a very hard worker, always having a project to complete or work to get done.  She had an amazing green thumb and anything she planted and cared for grew abundantly.  She loved to quilt, having made quilts for all her daughters and grandchildren.  She crocheted many hats and slippers for needy children around the world.  She loved to travel and spend time visiting with her children and grandchildren.
