Margaret Rohr was born on February 5, 1923 to Anton and Anna (Herr) Rohr, in Dickinson, North Dakota. She married Frank Joe Martin on June 10, 1941, in Gladstone, North Dakota.

Margaret grew up the daughter of farmers and spent most of her married life on the farm, where she and Frank raised their eight children. Margaret taught her children a strong work ethic and her sense of eternal optimism, whether making fried chicken, baked goods, or German-Hungarian soups in the kitchen; tending chickens or milk cows; or weeding her vegetable and flower gardens, long into her eighties. Her home was always open to neighbors and relatives. If you walked through the door, you were family; and none left her table hungry. She taught life lessons by example, with the two most important lessons being acceptance and love.

Margaret passed away on January 25, 2013 at the Good Samaritan Center.

Margaret's family was of utmost importance to her. She is survived by her children Rita Greff, Dean (Patty) Martin, Diane (Fred) Senn, Judy (Lester) Brackel, Fritz (Marie) Martin, Ted Martin, Jane (Glenn) Boldenow, and Kathy (Terry) Udland; her grandchildren, Greg (Reacal) Martin, Jason (Sarah) Greff, Steve (Jennifer) Martin, Tonya (Jason) Moe, Russell (Elizabeth) Senn, Lance Greff, Christen (Chuck) Mathson, Deana Martin, Renee (Justin) Thompson, Chad (Michelle) Martin, Dan (Leigh) Senn, April Brackel, Megan Boldenow, Brandon (Amanda) Boldenow, Jessica (Brendan) Headrick, Kale (Amber) Udland, and John Turner (Carley) Udland; her great-grandchildren, Sophie and Audrey Martin, Mason and Macey Martin, Hannah, Olivia, Josh, and Tyler Moe, Isabella Starkman, Jake and Ethan Mathson, Otis Martin, Andrew and Nicholas Thompson, Alexis and Avery Martin, Kobe, Chayton, and Coleston Senn, Ashly and Ethan Headrick, Hannah Udland, and Connor and Myles Udland; her siblings, Richard (Angie) Rohr, Christine Messmer, Janet Sickler, and Charlene Frank; and sisters and brothers in-law Barbara Rohr, Jack Messmer, and Albert Sickler.
