[StarTribune Obituary]
Saltveit, Margaret G. Age 90. Born August 11, 1916 and died peacefully on June 3, 2007 at Friendship Village in Bloomington, MN. Margaret was a graduate of Minneapolis Central High School and had been a resident of NE Mpls for over 60 years. She was an active member of Gustavus Adolphus Lutheran Church where she was a quilter and one of the "Gazette" crew. Margaret wed Mikal Saltveit on November 9, 1940, and they were married until his death in 2001. She is survived by her two children, Karen (Larry) Christian and Mikal Jr. (Pamela Lehnert); six grandchildren, Matthew Christian, Kari (Gregory) Vacura, Katherine (Tom) Mercer, Mikal Christian, Mikal Lehnert Saltveit, and Kyle Saltveit. She had three great-grandchildren, Kirsten, Gretchen, and Erik Vacura, as well as soon-to-be-born great-grandchild #4 (Baby Mercer). Margaret was a prolific seamstress, baker, gardener, and lover of crossword puzzles. She loved to travel and to spend time with family and friends. Margaret brought joy to those who knew and loved her. She will be deeply missed.
I also found out that my youngest sister, Kate, had her first child -- Emma, my 3rd niece -- a couple days later.
