Margilu E. Peterson of Cozad passed away December 5, 2019 at Via Christi Hospital in Manhattan, Kansas at the age of 83. Margilu was born October 11, 1936 in Arnold, Nebraska to Henry and Marjorie (Shaw) Anderson. She graduated from Arnold High School with the class of 1954. Margilu attended Kearney State Teachers’ College and earned her teaching certificate. On May 26, 1957, she married Don Peterson in Arnold, Nebraska. They lived in the New Hope community north of Gothenburg for 36 years until their move to Cozad, NE in 1993. After Don’s passing she moved to Park Plaza in Cozad where she had many friends.

Margilu taught at Etna School for 3 years. Then she taught 2 years at New Hope School. After having her children, she became a full time mother and farm wife. For 18 years, she and Don owned the Cozad Daylight Donut Shop. Everyone has fond memories of her cakes, sausage rolls, cinnamon and caramel/pecan rolls, pretzels and of course donuts.

Margilu enjoyed baking for her family and friends, teaching Sunday school and Children’s Church and attending Bible Studies with her friends. She enjoyed many visits and holidays with her children and grandchildren, and daily prayed for them all.

She was a faithful and devoted member of the Cozad Bible Church, where she was a faithful prayer warrior for the Adventure Club Kids. She and Don were previously active members of the New Hope Evangelical Free Church, north of Gothenburg which always held special memories for her of serving Jesus along side friends and family.
