She was preceded in death by her parents; all of her brothers and sisters; along with first husband and father of her children, Robert E. Milam; second husband, Dean Lauman; and grandson, Robert E. Milam Jr.

She is survived by her twin sons, Robert E. Milam of Kalispell, and Lenox P. Milam and partner, Bill Johnson, of Donnelley Idaho. She will be missed by granddaughters, Laura Sparks who serves in the U.S. Navy, Tamala Galloway, Victoria Amundson and granddaughter-in-law, Tara Milam and their families; missing her also is special niece, Freda Clark and her family along with nephews, Don and Jim Nichols, Peter and Sammy Edge, and niece, Margaret Tahirakheli.

A private burial is planned for the springtime, grandma's favorite time of the year. In place of flowers, please contribute in Margaret's honor to Hospice.
