Margaret Lois Curtis
Margaret Lois Curtis passed away May 29, 2008, at the Infinia Care Center of Safford, where she was staying for the last eight months. Margaret was born Feb. 24, 1920, in Murray, Utah.
She was the third child of Robert Eccles Baird and Malinda T. McCandless. Margaret grew up in Utah, California and Oregon and settled in Arizona, where she married Bernard H. Curtis in the Mesa Temple on Jan. 24, 1947.
Margaret was preceded in death by her husband, Bernard, on Feb. 16, 1993, and son John on Jan. 28, 1966.

She loved serving in various callings in church. She loved classical music, painting, going on trips to the ocean, flowers, sunsets, going camping in the mountains, gathering sea shells and just trying to see as much of the beautiful creations by her Heavenly Father as she could.
