Margaret is also survived by loving nieces and nephews in the Arland family including David and Diana Arland, as well as many other family and friends. Margaret was preceded in death by her husband, Marvin W. Arland in 1994, their infant son and Margaret's parents, Leona Edith (Cloud) Fullmer and Coy Levi Fullmer. Margaret lived in Torrington, WY, until 1999 when she sold the family home and relocated to Minneapolis, MN, to be closer to her daughter and granddaughter. In the last 15 years she travelled to Puerto Rico, France and Greece, studied the Bible in depth, and was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses at the age of 91. She served Jehovah through the door-to-door ministry and by attending meetings faithfully until her death.
