Published in Deseret News on Apr. 18, 2019∼Our mother, Margaret Lyndell Hardman Clement, was born in Stirling, Alberta, Canada, 26 March 1916 , in at the home of her maternal grandparents, birth assisted by grandmother Leticia Barton and a midwife. An aunt Margaret May was also present. She was always close to her grandmother. Her sweet mother was Lyndell Barton Hardman; father Parley J. Hardman. Mom was their first child of ten children. Even though she was the eldest, she was the runt of the family at 4 ft. 8 inches, always tiny, but mighty in stature. She outlived all but one brother, Deloy, and one sister, Vonetta Fackrell, when she passed 8 April 2019. Being the first child, she had many responsibilities helping her mother in the house and the care of her brothers and sisters. She loved her horse, Babe, and was so tiny in size that she mounted her horse from a fence and rode bareback. She rode miles to other towns. She was happy being a Canadian cowgirl, rounding up the family stock and helping her father dry farm. She worked in the sugar beets and helped her grandfather stock hay. Her education began in a one room school house. She remembers the excitement when King George of England visited school children in Stirling. The family moved to Coaldale for a while, eventually back to Stirling. At a young age, she learned to regulate the kitchen stove, became a great cook, and learned to sew on her mother's treadle sewing machine. As children, her parents moved with their families to homestead in Canada but were U.S. citizens. When she was 17 years old, her family left Canada to live in Magna, Utah, USA. All family goods were sold to finance the move, including her beloved horse, Babe. A touring car was hired to move the family of 10, with only a trunk holding their few belongings. The trip was five days. She attended Cyprus High School her last year of school. At a dance at the Kennecott Copper Club, she met Lloyd A. Clement. They remained beautiful dance partners. Soon they were dating and married in the Salt Lake Temple on 10 April 1935. Two daughters were born to them. Lloyd was building the family home in Granger, Utah, when Margaret received deportation papers back to Canada. For whatever reason, she was never issued a birth certificate in Canada. For a year (1940-41), they fought deportation. Her parents were U.S. citizens when she was born, therefore, she was a U.S. Citizen. Two more daughters were welcomed to their family and raised in Granger, Utah. She was a wonderful, attentive mother. Margaret was a stay-at-home mom, but employed at times throughout the years. She sewed clothing in the Mode O Day factory for their stores. Employed at Harmon's grocery store. Using her sewing talents, was employed at Singer's Store on main street in SLC demonstrating and selling Singer sewing machines. Was top salesperson in the state during a competition. Also worked at the Sprouse-Reitz store in Granger. In between she was a super mother and loving wife at home. Being an expert seamstress, she made all of the family clothing, as well as her daughters' wedding dresses, and much clothing for others outside her family. She taught the youth many years in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including future Governor Norman Bangerter. Margaret was widowed at age 52, but she used her great talents to quickly find work as a cook at the West Valley Hospital. Later, she was employed at J. C. Penney's, from which she retired. Mom was never idle throughout her life, always a hard worker and kept a beautiful home. She grew gardens, canned fruit from their trees, was a super cook. Whenever someone did a kindness for her, they were rewarded with homemade bread or a tasty pie. She was a devoted grandmother to all of her grandchildren, spending so much time with them. Grandchildren loved her dearly. She was very active in her local senior centers and had many friends, loved playing card games at homes. When the family home and large yard became too much for her care, she quickly sold the family home, moved to a condo in Meadow Brook, 80th birthday celebration with former neighbors and family there; then to a small apartment in the former Cottonwood Maternity hospital in Murray; later to the newly constructed Gold Medal apartments in West Valley City. She celebrated her 90th birthday there with many family members and friends. She lived a short time at Canyon Creek, but soon moved to Glendale, Arizona, with a daughter and her family for her last 12 years. She loved the Spaghetti Factory and celebrated birthdays 99, 101, 102, 103 with family traveling from other states to be with her. Birthday 100 was celebrated in Salt Lake City with 100 guests attending. She had celebrated her 103rd birthday, healthy and vibrant, such a tease, so happy surrounded by many family members, but 16 days later died from stroke complications. She often remarked she was afraid she'd live forever. Although she had lost most of her vision to macular degeneration, she was active and still fiesty at age 103 years and 14 days. She was honored at a beautiful memorial service 20 April 2019, then interred next to her husband, Lloyd A. Clement, after 51 years separation, at Valley View Memorial Park, Hope Section.
