Magdaline was born May 29, 1924 in Meire Grove, MN, to Frank and Amelia (Klingler) Anton. She was raised in Van Hook. In her younger years, she worked for Dr. and Mrs. Emil Mahowald of Parshall.

She has nine grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.

Magdaline liked working in her yard which she did until she was 88. She gardened, canned, and baked the best chocolate chip cookies. The grandkids never left without a bag full.
