Obituary For My Grandmother Margaret (Fister) Hartley

Me and my grandmother, Margaret Alvide (Fister) Hartley (1912-2000), circa 1981.  From my personal collection.

I've been posting my grandmother's siblings' obituaries in birth order, and she was next.  I knew Grandmother all my life, and I wish I had asked her more questions about herself (isn't that always the way?):
