Margaret Rose Blake Decker - 12/2/2005

Class of 1958

ST. GEORGE - Our loving mother, and grandmother "Grandma Margaret" passed away Friday, December 2, 2005 in St. George, Utah. Born November 6th, 1940 to Cecil and Virginia Latimer Blake. Margaret lived most of her life in St. George graduating from Dixie High School.

She served an LDS mission to Mexico City from 1961-1963. Her mission was the high point in her life as she influenced many. She continued her missionary efforts for the rest of her life. She lived in downtown, Salt Lake City, before her mission where she attended beauty school. In 1975 she received her LPN license where she was able to show her talents of healing and helping others.

Margaret was in anticipation of her favorite holiday, Christmas. She loved giving and receiving gifts. Her whole life was dedicated to helping and serving others. She was active in the scouting program and recently spent the last few Saturdays serving as a leader at the Webelos day camps. All of her five sons and oldest grandson are Eagle scouts.

The LDS faith was a great strength to her as she attended as many wards on a Sunday as she could. She has been a guide and strength to many in need as she has helped support missionaries in the field. She had a love for work as she worked on the rentals, yard work and with her family history. She loved to play games and have family gatherings. Vacationing was a great joy as she traveled the world with her children.

Survived by her father Cecil Blake, her children; Jennette (Todd) Watts,
Michael N. Decker, Steve (Lana) Decker, Bruce Decker, Sheri (Charles) Toone, Paul Decker, her sisters; Diane Imlay, Janice Zeigler and brothers; Darrell, Ron and Henry, and eight soon to be nine grandchildren. Preceded in death by her son David Blake Decker and her mother Virginia Latimer Decker.
