Her extensive genealogy page can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/familytreegene.com\/getperson.php?personID=I19&amp;tree=enchanted\">here<\/a> which both Margaret and Kathleen have been working on for many years.\u00a0 Margaret also had a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/margaret.whitney.71619\">Facebook page<\/a> which took many years of convincing by her children to open up and add family to it.\u00a0 Both the pages have many pictures of Margaret, family, and friends.<\/p>\n<p>Margaret was loved by many, in later years most described her as the sweetest old lady they knew.\u00a0 She often would make others smile.\u00a0 She lived in Sacramento, CA most of her life but that last few years she moved to Texas near her son and daughter, she lived with her daughter for 3 years until she was able to find a senior living apartment for the last year and a half.\u00a0 She was fortunate that she was able to spend some of the holidays with her son and extended family in Austin during the last years.<\/p>\n<p>During the years she lived with Kathleen, no one wanted to cook so she loved it when Kathleen and Rod would take her out to dinner at least 4 nights every week.\u00a0 Margaret and Kathleen spent many hours in the front room cross-stitching.\u00a0 But one of the projects Margaret was most proud of was her Christmas stockings that she made for all family members and friends.\u00a0 She originally made them in the 1960s and more recently found the pattern and ordered the yarn and made more for her ever-growing family and extended family.\u00a0 If I was to guess on the number she made it would be close to 100.<\/p>\n<p>Written with Love by Kathleen Zagala<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.0&#8243;
