Margaret Rose Densberger, 94, of East Peoria, Ill., passed away Tuesday, April 29, 2014, at Riverview Manor Care in East Peoria.
Margaret was born March 7, 1920, in Peoria to Charles and Mary (Knapp) Beam. She married Melvin Densberger on Nov. 20, 1940. He preceded her in death.
She was also preceded in death by her parents; one daughter, Sharon Kottabi; two brothers; and two sisters.
Margaret is survived by two sons, Danny (Mary) Densberger of East Peoria, Ill., and Roger (Anita) Densberger of Apopka, Fla.; one son-in-law, Javad Kottabi; seven grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren.
Margaret worked for over 20 years in the billing department at Klaus Radio.
She was a member of the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, where she proudly served as president; Past Caterpillar Retirees; East Peoria Women's Club; and Red Hat Society.
She enjoyed walking in the Relay for Life Walk with her daughter, Sharon. Margaret's favorite activity of all, though, was playing pinochle with a group of neighborhood ladies. This group formed in 1957 and has met monthly to play cards since then.
Services for Margaret will be held Friday, May 2, 2014, at 2 p.m. at Remmert Funeral Home in East Peoria. The Rev. Steven Barch will officiate. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service. Burial will be in Fondulac Cemetery.
