Margaret was born January 22, 1937 in Detroit, MI. She was the daughter of the late Thomas and Lillian Hawley and grew up in Wayne, MI.  She graduated from MSU with a master’s degree in 1962.  She worked for the school system in Wayne before getting married to George Lasater in 1963 when they decided to make the move up to Boyne City.  She worked as a speech therapist for the school system before starting a 28 year career as director with NW Michigan Hospice and retiring in 2010.  She was an active member in the community, as a member of Eta Nu, serving on various boards and taking part in organizing and volunteering on fundraising events.  Besides being involved in her community Margaret loved spending time with her family and friends. She was a energetic and outgoing woman who enjoyed life and made everyone around her feel special. She was truly loved and will be deeply missed.
