Margaret CHARTIER |
Margaret was raised in Pelkie and graduated at age 16 from Baraga High School. She continued her education at Northern Normal School (now Northern Michigan University) where she graduated at age 20 with two minors, one in Chemistry and the other in English. Margarets first teaching assignment was with the Rock River School District at the Eben School. There, her assignment was somewhat unique as many of the students were returning from World War II and were older than her. She also served as class advisor. After Margaret married Arthur A. Nadeau in Baraga, she returned to teaching for a time in Big Bay and then settled into being a homemaker. Once most of her children were older, Margaret returned to teaching on a substitute basis with the public and Catholic schools in Marquette. In 1963, she began a 20-year employment with NMU, serving as manager of the Book Department at the NMU Bookstore. In her leisure and in retirement, she enjoyed being with family, reading, picking berries, riding around Presque Isle, traveling with her children, playing cards and defeating her children, and was an avid NMU hockey fan. Margarets faith and church were very important to her and she was an active member of St. Christopher Catholic Church and its Womens Club, where she participated in numerous parish festivals, funeral dinners, pasty sales, bazaars, bake sales and fish bakes. Her children remember that church activities were central to her life and brought her much happiness.
Margaret is survived by grandchildren, Nicole (John) Solfest, Daniel Duquette, Amy (Nick Hamari) Duquette, Christy Anttila, Misty Nadeau, Joe Holman, Matthew, Andrew, Emily and Sarah Lorenz, Samantha and Sarah Nadeau, Steven Gustafson, Becky Nadeau, and Jeff and Ken Saarela and great-grandchildren, Ella, Tyler, Olivia, Alex, Cammie, Autumn, Dylan and Jeffrey. She was preceded in death by grandchildren: Matthew Peter Nadeau, Diane Marie Nadeau and Edward David Anttila; great-grandchild, Vanessa Marie; and sister-in-law Elaine Chartier
