Margaret was born September 26, 1946, the beloved daughter of William and Ruth Pueschel.  She was raised in Santa Monica, California, before moving to Cedar Rapids.  She married David Yancey on November 19, 1967.  He passed away in June of 2003.  She worked at Turner Microphone for two years, Norand Corporation for ten years and MCI for sixteen years, before retiring in 2004.

She made many friends along the way and shared many laughs and tears with them, and was touched by their love and support during the saddest of times.  She said "their friendships and kindness were key in helping her family through them."

She will be remembered for her quick wit, sense of humor, her smile, and zest for life.  She was a good friend and a wonderful Mom who loved her family. She helped people who needed help and didn't ask for much in return just love and friendship. She will be missed.

She is survived by four sons Rick of Robins, Jeff of Georgia, Tim (Anita) of Cedar Rapids and William of Kansas; sixteen grandchildren Kelly, Nicole, Timothy, Kimberly, Andrew, David, Robert, Samantha, Makayla, Elijah, Samuel, Max, William, Breanna, Charles and Kerry; sixteen great-grandchildren, several nieces and nephews.  She loved all of them dearly.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her son David, and a grandson SPC Dustin A. Yancey.
