She was born November 17, 1916 at the farm home of her parents Lois B. (Remington) and Ray L. King, three miles east of Hopkins. Margaret attended school in Hopkins her first two grades and stayed with her Grandparents, Samuel L. and Nancy Jane (Jennie) King during the school year. When her parents moved to Bedford, she split her third and fourth grades there, returning with her parents to the farm where she completed the remainder of fourth through eight grades at the Unity country school. Margaret attended Hopkins High School while alternatively staying with her grandparents and riding a horse back and forth from the farm, graduating in 1934.

On October 5, 1935, she married Orlin Elbert Florea and they came to live on the King family farm in 1939 when Margaret's parents moved away. This was to remain her home until a storm damaged the house in 2002, necessitating a move into Hopkins.

Five children were born to this union. In Margaret's own words, "In January 1940, Wayne Elbert came to bless the home but he was not destined to stay long, leaving us in February. Larry Edwin was born in 1941, then followed Lois Janelle, August 1945. This little angel stayed with us until September. August 1946, Roger Lee and Paula Jean in November 1948 followed. Orlin and I have been blest by a fine family, five grandchildren, Brian, Denise, Keith, Erica and Stacy, who have been a great joy to their grandparents. We are proud to include daughters-in-law, Susan and Vera and son-in-law, Mehmet".

As a housewife, Margaret helped her husband on the farm. When all her children reached school-age, Margaret along with Orlin owned and operated the Hop-In Restaurant in Hopkins in the 1950's. Margaret later worked at Barnett Grocery in Hopkins as well as the Safeway Grocery and JC Penney's in Maryville plus time at the sewing factory in Bedford, Iowa.

In addition to her infant children, Margaret was preceded in death by her husband just 4 days prior to their 57th wedding anniversary in October 1992, her son, Larry in May 2012, and her brother Edwin King in August 2013.

Margaret's path through life brought her great joy. Her hobbies included genealogy, art, playing the organ, quilts, crocheting and getting to know people with whom she came into contact in her life pursuits. Among her many community activities, she delivered Meals on Wheels, played piano for the high school chorus, co-founded the Sixty Plus Social Center, wrote for the Hopkins Journal and Bedford Times-Press, and participated in many aspects of the Hopkins Picnic. In addition she served on boards for OATS, Long Branch Cemetery, and the Hopkins Historical Museum. She was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary, the Music Club, Merry Ridge Club, Merrie Mixers, TRY Extension Club, and the Wray Memorial Methodist Church, where she was listed on the Cradle Roll as an infant, baptized at 15, held many positions and was pianist and organist for nearly forty years.

Jackson, Lois Marie Carter Ervin - Lois Marie (Carter) Jackson, age 92 of Maryville, Missouri formerly of Red Oak, Iowa entered into rest on Wednesday, April 4, 2018 at the Parkdale Manor Care Center in Maryville, Missouri.

Lois was born June 20, 1925 in Adams County, Iowa the daughter of Leland C. and Grace Elizabeth (McMorran) Carter. She was the eldest of four girls. Lois was a loving daughter to her parents and a "protective big sister " to her sisters Dolores, Maxine, and Ramona. Her childhood years were spent in and around the small town of Carbon. One of her fun memories of growing up in Carbon was to walk on top of a very high river bridge west of Carbon with her sisters. This was especially daring because none of the Carter sisters could swim. Being the daughter of a coal miner, Lois learned early the value of hard work which helped her later in life in her working career. She attended Carbon schools and later graduated from Corning High School in 1943. Following graduation, she attained an emergency war-time teaching certificate and taught school children at a very young age.

In 1945, Lois met and married Thomas Arthur Ervin. To this union, three children were born: Gary Leland (1946), Robert Wayne (1951) and Sherry Elizabeth (1952). Tommy's military service in the US Army took the family to many around-the-world places like, California, Alaska, Japan and Germany. Later, the family settled in Alabama where Lois taught Kindergarten in the Huntsville Community School District and continued to raise their family.

In 1965, Lois moved her family to Iowa, eventually settling in the city of Red Oak where she began a long career with Union Carbide. In 1974, she met and married Earl Allen Jackson. Lois and Earl lived in Red Oak for many happy years before eventually moving together to the Stanton Care Center in Stanton, Iowa. Lois gradually lost her sight due to an illness but that did not hinder her from maintaining a sharp mind and keeping up on current events. She had no trouble speaking her mind and standing up for what she thought was right. Her family was a very important part of her life and the proof was exhibited in the fact that all the walls of her nursing home room were literally covered with pictures of her family members! She loved and cherished her family up to the time of her death.

Preceding her in death were her parents, husband Earl, daughter-in-law Debra Ervin, and sister and brother-in-law Dolores and Calvin Haley. Survivors include five children: Gary Ervin, Robert Ervin, Sherry Ervin Lorence and husband Jim, Evelyn Jackson Clingerman and husband Steve, and Sherry Jackson Hidley and husband Robert; many grandchildren and great grandchildren; sisters: Maxine Huebner and husband Winston and Ramona Johnson and husband Denny; along with many nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.

Lois was loved by many and will be deeply missed.

Waldeier, Stanley Wayne - Stanley Wayne Waldeier, 68, of Ravenwood Mo passed away at home on March 14th, 2018.
Stanley was born in Maryville to Lawerence & Jeannette Waldeier on January 28th, 1950. He graduated Northeast Nodaway High School in 1968 and began a lifelong career at Chicago Northwestern Railroad & Brotherhood of Maintenance Way Employees in 1969. He married his high school sweetheart Madeline Mitchell in 1970.
Stan and Madeline made a home with the addition of 3 great (but sometimes ornery) children. We’re not sure where the children got that from! The family moved to Iowa in 1978 and Stan held several positions for the railroad up to and including Vice President of the BMWE. He most enjoyed holding firm on an argument to the benefit of his railroad brothers. After retiring in 2010, Stan and Madeline were very happy to return home to Ravenwood.
He was an avid outdoorsman, loved hunting and fishing. Stan and Madeline spent a lot of time camping and boating as well. Anything to be outdoors. When stuck inside, he enjoyed finding obscure country music from the far southwest with meaningful lyrics so long as you were willing to “listen to the words.” For all that knew him, it goes without saying that any of the above included a good number of slightly true stories and lots of laughter.
Stan was a member of St. Gregory Barbarigo Catholic Church, Knights of Columbus, and the Grand River & Defiance Muzzleloader Clubs.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sister Mary Jane (Keith) Preist; grandson Spencer Owen Waldeier; and sister-in-law Sue Waldeier.
Stan is survived by his wife Madeline Waldeier; son Lawerence (Ed) & Mary Waldeier of Maryville; son Doug Waldeier of Rockford IL; and daughter Annette & Ryan McCarthy of Adel, IA; five grandchildren Tonya, Trevor, Stanley, Joseph & Grace Waldeier; three brothers Larry Waldeier, Jim & Mary Waldeier, and Robert & Ann Waldeier; 15 nieces & nephews.
