Margaret (Waddell) Greenhalgh

Margaret Greenhalgh, 92, of Idaho Falls, passed peacefully on August 14, 2021, at her home. She was under the care of Aspen Home Health and Hospice and her loving family.

Margaret was born April 19, 1929, in Squirrel, Idaho, to Richard C Waddell and Muriel House Waddell. She attended a one-room schoolhouse in Squirrel through the eighth grade and graduated from Ashton High School in 1947.

On August 7, 1950, she married Sylvan Greenhalgh in Rexburg, Idaho. Their marriage was solemnized in the Idaho Falls Temple on May 22, 1971. Sylvan and Margaret made their home in Idaho Falls where Margaret worked for the ID Store and then the Bank of Idaho for 20 years.

She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Margaret served as a ward librarian, Sunday School teacher, Primary teacher, Compassionate Service Leader and visiting teacher. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family. She enjoyed puzzles, long drives, and she loved the Utah Jazz.

Margaret is survived by her three children, Anne (Mark) Bennion of Star Valley, WY, Leslie (David) Carr of Hurricane, UT, Brian (Shelly) Greenhalgh of Idaho Falls; sister, Jean Clark of Idaho Falls, ID; 11 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren.
