She was born May 20, 1950, in Fremont, to Ben & Marie Sovinski.
At age 23, Margaret was working at the family newspaper business (hi-lites graphics), where she sold an advertisement to Thomas Kowalski. They married six months later and would have celebrated their 48th wedding anniversary this August.
Margaret lived her life with an abundance of grace, unwavering faith, and unconditional love for her family and friends, especially her grandbabies. Her kindness and generosity knew no boundaries. She was an angel on earth... Always a giver. It made her heart happy to feed everyone and anyone who walked through her door. Some of Margaret's favorite things were feeding her hummingbirds, saving turtles off the road, trips to Disney World, winning card games, and The Price is Right. The family's favorite memories of Margaret include her cooking/baking, playing bingo, gardening, predicting the weather better than any meteorologist, and the way she would tap dance while waiting for popcorn to pop.
Margaret will be missed by her loving husband Tom; three daughters, Stefani (Joel) Dunn, Kari (Darren) Barbo, and Susan Powers; grandchildren, Taylor, Ellie, Kenna, and Thomas; parents, Ben & Marie Sovinski; seven siblings, Mike (Kathy) Sovinski, Tony Sovinski, Dan (Cindy) Sovinski, Jon (Julie) Sovinski, Mary (Mike) Sullivan, Joe Sovinski, and Julie Sovinski; sister-in-laws, Leona Seiler, and Helen Brown; as well as several other nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Margaret was received in Heaven by her grandmother, Mary Spampinato; brother-in-law, Martin Kowalski; and nephew, Steven Sullivan.
