Greer Jr., in 1975; her brother, Francis DeMand, a highly decorated WWII pilot killed in action in 1944, and her sister, Evelyn DeMand Holgerson, in 1980. Margaret was born in Kansas farm country in the small town of Haven, KS, to Dr. Milton H. and Martha DeMand on August 16, 1924. Margaret's father, a highly respected "horse and buggy" doctor, would take little Margaret with him while making his rounds in rural Kansas. After her father's death in 1926, Margaret helped with cooking and baking in her mother's boarding house that catered to the town's schoolteachers during the school year and itinerant oil wildcatters during the summer months. In her teen years, she and her mother moved to Wichita, KS where she graduated from East High School in 1942. Margaret attended Lindenwood College for a year and returned to Wichita to work the war effort at Aero Parts Manufacturing Company in Wichita. She met her future husband, John L. Greer, Jr, and they were married on Easter Sunday, 1945 in Reno, Nevada. The couple returned to Wichita and raised two children, Rick and Kathe. The family made several moves to the Phoenix area in 1961, the San Francisco area in 1964 and finally returning to Arizona in 1967. In Phoenix, Margaret was the Purchasing Agent for the Tonto National Forest. Margaret worked her career with the same vim and vigor with which she pursued most things in life receiving many commendations and employee awards. Margaret retired with honor from the Forest Service in 1986. After retirement, Margaret donated much of her time to Goodwill Industries, where she was usually first in line to support many of their fund-raising activities. She especially enjoyed working the annual Goodwill Antiques Show where she made many new friends. Margaret escaped the heat and smog of Phoenix, and moved to Albuquerque in 2001 to be nearer to her daughter.
