Obituary
Margaret Ann Stoeckmann was born on January 8, 1945, in Glencoe, Minnesota. She was the daughter of Henry and Mabel (Fruetel) Bressler. Margaret was baptized as an infant and was later confirmed in her faith as a youth both at St. Paul’s Evangelical Reform Church in Hamburg, Minnesota. She received her education at Arlington-Green Isle and graduated with the Arlington-Green Isle High School class of 1962.
On October 25, 1969, Margaret was united in marriage to Richard Stoeckmann at St. Paul’s Evangelical Reform Church in Hamburg, Minnesota. Margaret and Richard made their home on the Stoeckmann family farm just outside of Hamburg. Their marriage was blessed with two children, Laurie and Jeremy. Margaret and Richard shared 54 years of marriage.
Margaret was employed at Young America Corp. in Data Entry. More recently, she was employed at BCS in Waconia in Data Entry. When she wasn’t working in the office, Margaret enjoyed helping Richard on the farm. Margaret was an active member at Emanuel Lutheran Church in Hamburg and sang with the church choir. She was also a part of the “Singing Friends Chorus.”
Margaret enjoyed doing yard work, spending time outdoors, tending to her gardens and flowers, and canning the vegetables she grew. Margaret loved dancing and listening to old-time music. In her down times, she enjoyed doing word find puzzles, and spending time with her family, grandchildren, and friends; but most of all she cherished the time she spent with her Great-Grandson, Michael, or “Little Guy” as she called him.

Richard and family: I feel blessed that I was able to see you and Margaret at GlenFields and to share a few words with you both just a week ago. Margaret mentioned that she wanted to go home. Her prayer has been answered… just not in the way we may have hoped. My thoughts are with you.
Jessie Krone says
Richard and Family – I just want to know how sad I was when I heard the news regarding Margaret. I worked with Margaret a long time at BCS and we became close friends. She gave me an angel pin for Christmas one year that I hold very dear and now it has even more meaning to it as she has gained her wings. I want you to know that you are in my prayers while you and your family try to get thru this difficult time.
Debra Larson says
Richard, your kids and grandkids, As Jessie said, I too am so sorry for your loss of Margaret. I also worked with her for many years at BCS. Mark and I ran into her at Coborn’s last summer. Mark said “I’ll shop, you two visit”. It was so nice. She told me of some health issues she had but I don’t think I’d ever seen her more happy than that day. She was delightful. I wish you and your family peace.
Sincerely,
Debra Larson
