Margit D Truman

Jan 17, 2021

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.

My big sister Marg, I always looked up to you! Your sense of style, humor, grace and witty sense of humor. You were one classy lady. I will miss you so much. I will also miss your letters. I told you many times you should become a writer. Obviously you enjoyed books, your crazy cat Bert & loved your wonderful son & family! You left a big hole for all that knew & loved you!
