Margaret Mary Seier, daughter of John and Margaret (Grendler) Schmitz, was born on June 10, 1930 at Petersburg, NE.

She was baptized and confirmed at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, attended St. John’s Elementary School and graduated from St. John’s High School in 1948.

She lost her mother at a young age, so following graduation, she stayed home to keep house for her father.

Margaret was united in marriage to Anthony Frank Seier on August 18, 1952 at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Petersburg. The couple made their home one mile north of Petersburg where they farmed and raised their family. They moved into Petersburg after retiring in 2000.

Tony passed away in 2009, and Margaret entered the Good Samaritan Assisted Living at Albion, NE in February of 2016. She moved to Marquis Place at Elkhorn, NE in August of 2018.

Margaret was a lifelong member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church and the Christian Mothers. She was also a member of the American Legion Auxiliary.
