Margaret had been a Sister of the Precious Blood for 55 years. The second youngest of eight children, Margaret Mary was born Dec. 1, 1920, in Cape Girardeau, Mo., to Joseph Rigdon and Anna (Quaid) Rigdon.
On Jan. 6, 1960, she formally entered the Congregation of the Sisters of the Precious Blood. In religious life she was known first as Sister Mary Bertrand and later returned to her baptismal name. "For me," wrote Sister Margaret, "being a member of the Congregation gave me the opportunity to enrich and deepen my relationship with the Lord...enabled me to give service to His People...and share life deeply with caring Sisters."
Sister was a Licensed Practical Nurse when she entered and later earned her license as a Registered Nurse. Most of her ministry was in health care. She ministered for 28 years as a nurse in Ohio at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, at Lourdes Hall and Emma Hall at the Maria Joseph Center (MJC) in Dayton, and at St. Leonard Center in Centerville. For 10 years she served at the Post Office at MJC.
In 2003 she retired at Salem Heights in Dayton, but still gave foot care to the Sisters. In 2015 her declining health necessitated nursing care provided by the MJC where this gentle, quiet and caring person died. Sister Margaret is survived by her nieces, nephews and first cousins.
Preceding her in death were her brothers Charles, Joseph, Edward and Francis and her sisters Irma (Sister Placidas, SL), Marie Malone, and Anne Farthing.
Interment will be in the Salem Heights Cemetery.
