Margaret H. Hahn, 86, of Grants Pass died Monday, Dec. 4, 2006, at Spring Pointe Specialty Care Community.
A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday at Hillcrest Memorial Park, with the Rev. Paul Hagedorn, chaplain of Providence Hospice, officiating. Chapel of the Valley-L.B. Hall Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
She was born Margaret Hersh, June 10, 1920, in Ephrata, Pa. On June 13, 1943, in Oakland, Calif., she married Elmer David Hahn, who died in 1973. They moved to Rogue River in 1965 from northern California. She was a homemaker.
She was raised in the Mennonite tradition. While living in Grants Pass, she attended the Christian Singles group. She enjoyed recycling and, in 2000, she was named "Josephine County Recycler of the Year."
Survivors include a son, David A. Hahn of Grants Pass; a daughter, Sarah Coe of Auburn, Calif.; two sisters, Louella Withers of Akron, Ohio, and Florence Weber of Wilkes Barre, Pa.; two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
After her husband died, she became very interested in recycling and was often seen by the roadside picking up aluminum cans.
Family legend has it that she met her husband at a "roadhouse" while they were both crawling around under the table.
Her younger sister Florence suffered because she closely resembled Margaret and was often credited with her exploits.
