Margaret was a charge nurse and worked as a home health administrator for many years for Idaho Home Health & Hospice and Home Care Options. Margaret loved her career in nursing and graduated with honors. She scored the highest on her State Board Exam at that time. She inspired people to believe in themselves and gave that extra word of encouragement to help people reach their full potential. She was brutally honest and often described tough but fair by her co-workers, friends and family. Margaret had many layers to her and made life entertaining. She had a dry sense of humor and a quick wit. She loved music, enjoyed dancing, and handing out playful nicknames to her children and grandchildren. She blazed the trail for girls' basketball by playing on one of the first high school teams of her time. As she grew older she continued to have passion for basketball and never missed a chance to cheer on the L.A. Lakers. In her earlier days, Margaret sang live on a local radio show with her father. In addition to her love of basketball, and singing, Margaret loved to frequent local garage sales, baking pies and canning fresh fruits and veggies from her home grown garden. Margaret is survived by her husband George, sister Donna Walker, daughters Victoria Haynes, Micki Rice (spouse Steve), sons Richard Pullin (spouse Mary), Kevin Pullin, 10 grandchildren, and 19 great grandchildren.
