Margaret Shaw Obituary: A Well-Known Retired Farmer Passes Away

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Margaret Shaw, a well-known retired farmer who left an indelible mark on her community. She died at the age of 78 on Saturday after a brief illness.

Born in Wayne County, Illinois, to Jesse and Novella (Dalton) Shaw, Margaret grew up with a strong sense of family values and community spirit. Her love for farming and the great outdoors led her to build a successful career as a farmer, earning her a reputation as one of the most respected and hardworking individuals in the region.

Margaret is survived by her loving husband, Werner, of Oxford, Wisconsin; five daughters, Novella (Paul) Luter, Diane (Harry) Hauri, Verneen Rufino, Elaine McBride, and Marlene (Victor) Olson; one son, Mickey (JoAnn) Badertscher; two brothers, Emmett (Althea) Shaw of Winter Haven, Florida, and Francis (Margaret) Shaw of Davenport, Iowa; four sisters, Icle Strandberg of Belvidere, Ola Qualman of Rockford, Dora (Burdell) Puddicombe of Rockton, Illinois, and Pearl Laube of Janesville, Wisconsin. She is also survived by her 17 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.

Throughout her life, Margaret was an active member of the community. She was a Boy Scout den mother and a member of the Joy View Homemakers of Rockford. Her dedication to these organizations and her unwavering commitment to her family and friends will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
