St. George, Utah - Our beloved mother and grandmother, Margaret Mller Remde Patterson passed away peacefully at the age of 97, on Saturday, November 19, 2011, at Elderberry Care in St. George, Utah. She was born October 7, 1914 in Gilbert Station (now Portland), Oregon to August Mller and Ida Meier, who returned to Jena, Germany in 1928 with Margaret, their youngest child. She studied to become a nurse in Germany and used her skills in hospitals during WWII. Margaret married her first husband, Kurt Karl Remde on August 1, 1936 in Jena. She was a devoted wife and mother of four. In 1948, Margaret was granted passage back to her family in Oregon with her two surviving daughters. Kurt was too sick to go with them and died in Jena on June 18, 1948. Margaret became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Christmas Eve 1951 in Kansas City, Missouri and married her second husband, Wilford Measom Patterson on March 23, 1952 in Kansas City, Missouri. They were sealed in the Washington D.C. LDS Temple on June 10, 1976. Wilford passed away on October 12, 2001 in St. George, Utah. Margaret will be remembered for her positive outlook, her diplomatic ways and her ability to work hard and care for others. She blessed our lives through her creative talents and hospitality. She kept busy crocheting, sewing, quilting, doing handicrafts and gardening. She had a flare for fashion and made her surroundings beautiful. But most of all, mom will be remembered for her gourmet German cooking. Many came long distances to eat at her table. Margaret is survived by her two daughters, Adelheid Heidi (Ron) Dixon of St. George and Angelica Rosemarie (Gerald) Molloy of Cottonwood Heights, Utah; a step-daughter, Emily (Dennis) Taylor of Stevensville, Montana; and a step-son, James (Donna) Patterson of Saratoga Springs. She is also survived by 15 grandchildren; 37 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren. Margaret is preceded in death by her parents; seven older siblings, two infant children; a grandson; and both husbands.
