Margit Dianne Truman was born to Gerald and Erma Rylander in Bremerton Washington on 8-30-1947. She passed away in Belfair Washington on 1-17-2021 in her home surrounded by friends and family. She was 73.

She died after a long battle with colon cancer showing all around her grace, determination, courage, and dignity.

She exemplified these attributes in life. She showed them in her amazing garden, her care of birds and animals, and of course her baking talents. All who knew her relished their chance to try her cookies and sweets.

She is survived by her son Alex, granddaughters Jessica and Madelynn, her two sisters Robyn and Karen, her brother Butch, and her mother Erma.
