Obituary
Margaret Mary Leggett passed away peacefully Monday, August 15, 2022. She was born May 17, 1943, to James and Vina Rose Brunelle in Poplar, Montana. Margaret went to Catholic School and graduated from Wolf Point High School. She married Joe Leggett in Great Falls on October 14, 1961. In the service, they traveled the country and were stationed in Brandywine, VA and Colorado Springs, Co. They moved back to Wolf Point to make their home and raise a family in 1971.
Mom worked many jobs. Clerk at Ben Franklin Store and HiWay Market. Waitress at the Wolf Point Cafe, The Husky Cafe, and the Stockman Cafe. For a time, she managed a VHS rental store. Mom (and Dad) mostly enjoyed selling their produce, baked goods, and canned goods at the Wolf Point Farmer's Market and at the Poplar Activity Center. Margaret easily built friendships and people loved her homemade goodies. Many of her friends and family repeatedly told her she was underpriced on her goods; she simply (stubbornly) replied that people didn't have much money and she wouldn't raise her prices. Mom would give away anything she had, except treasured pictures.
Margaret is survived by her daughter, Thelma of Wolf Point, and her son, Joseph (Keri) of Great Falls. She had 15 Grandchildren and 15 Great Grandchildren; she maintained special relationships with all of them.
Mom was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, Joseph Merle Leggett and her son, Thomas (Delores) Leggett. She was also preceded by her father, James Brunelle, her stepfather Louis LaFloe and her mother, Vina Rose Beauchman Brunelle LaFloe. She was also preceded by her sisters, Claudia Creighton and Celina Severson.
Funeral Mass will be at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, in Wolf Point, at 10:00 AM on August 24, 2022. A Rosary will be held at the Clayton Chapel, in Wolf Point, at 6:00 PM on August 23, 2022. Internment of her ashes will be at Greenwood Cemetery in Wolf Point, and, per her wishes, a portion of her ashes will be spread across the Bull Berry Bushes. She said that she wanted to be a thorn in Dad's side.
A luncheon will be held in the basement of the Catholic Church following the burial of the ashes.
