Margaret was born on October 6, 1941, in Carmine, Illinois, and passed away at the Florida Hospital in Zephyrhills, Florida, on June 2, 2016, from natural causes. She was a retired payroll clerk and inventory specialist for Macy’s Department Store. Margaret is survived by her husband of 58 years, John Wild of San Antonio, Florida, her three sons: Johnny Wild and his wife, Sharon, of Land o’ Lakes, Florida; Russell Wild of Wesley Chapel, Florida; Dean Wild and his wife, Kelli, of Wesley Chapel, Florida; and one daughter, Christina Wild Dumond and her husband, Jack, of Pompano Beach, Florida; a sister, Marilyn Collier and her husband, Wendell, of Lutz, Florida; and grandchildren: Johnny, Katie, Chrystal, Jacques, Joshua, Chase, Jessica, Niki, Te-bren, Russell, Luke, Caleb, Anna, Sarah and great grandchildren, Isabelle, Emma Grace, Bayleigh, Adi, Bentley, Dylan, Olivia, Hannah, Daven, Faith, Riley, Landon, Nathan and Julian.
She loved gardening, traveling, and spending time with her family. She was an excellent cook who could effortlessly feed a multitude. Her famous macaroni and cheese was the number one request for all family gatherings. She celebrated life, people, and holidays in a way that anchored her family’s traditions and memories.
Always hanging on her wall as a constant reminder was her favorite saying:
One hundred years from now it will not matter
What kind of car I drove,
What kind of house I lived in
How much money I had
in my bank account
Nor what my clothes look like,
But the world may be a little better
Because I was important in the life of a child.
Margaret was important in the lives of her children, grandchildren, and many other children who came into her home as friends and relatives.
Isaiah 66:13 “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.”
Margaret provided love and comfort to all those who knew her.

Evenings on the lanai, with candles burning will never be the same without Margie. We looked forward to our evening visits with John and Margie and the occasional adult beverage. We feel like we have lost a member of our family. God Bless.
I will always love and miss you grandma from your wonderful smile to your warming hugs, to the amazing dinners. Now I have an amazing guardian angel looking down. I love you an miss you so much.
I will always cherish the moments that we shared together when no one else was around. From us shelling peas on your back porch when I was little, to our conversations when I found out I was pregnant with my girls. You always had loving words of wisdom to share. You always will hold a special place in my heart! I will love you forever!❤️
We are extremely saddened by your loss. The family are in our thoughts and prayers. This earth will not be the same without Aunt Margie. Her laugh, smile, and giving heart are unforgettable. I will always remember her sense of humor and her warm welcomes . She was definitely a lady of grace and loved abundantly. Sending hugs and prayers from Texas.

I worked with Margie at Maas Brothers. She was a great,conscientious and professional asociate. She made my job infinitely easier. Sorry for your loss.
WE knew Margie back when our kids played together. They lived behind us & there was always laughter coming from that way. We lost track of each other when they moved away. She was such a happy & smiling person all the time. My heart goes out to all in the family.
