Mary Margaret was born in Dodge, Wisconsin October 22nd, 1928 to Mary Francis (Kupferschmidt) and Carl Peter Wagner. On May 29th, 1948 she married Frank Lambert Kiedrowski at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Pine Creek, WI. They later divorced. She was a mother of eight children and a very busy homemaker, who enjoyed caring for her family. Mary worked as a professional seamstress and as head cook at a local restaurant. She showcased her cooking, sewing and gardening talents at the Trempealeau County Fair, where she earned many blue and gold ribbons. She enjoyed volunteering at St. Bartholomew’s Catholic Church in Trempealeau and supporting organizations with various fundraisers.

In her final years, Mary was diligent with her daily routine and thrived from the exceptional care that she received from everyone at Onalaska Care Center. She was dedicated to her daily walks. She would never miss an opportunity to play bingo. Mary also enjoyed playing Kings Corner with visitors.

Mary Margaret, this world is going to miss your “spunk” so much. You truly have left our world a better place because of your love. I am so lucky that my friend Heidi included me in your families lives. The fun and laughs we’ve shared….you will always be remembered with ❤️.
Thanks so much. She had spunk right to the end. Her memory was getting difficult but she understood and tolerated it. We are doing well and mom is in a better place. ?
To the family of Mary Margaret, I send my condolences. God bless you all.

Mary Margaret was more than just my friends’ mom. She was definitely spunky and taught everyone around her that no one gets to tell you what to do, except God (and he said no meat on Fridays until after midnight, right girls?) She was also the first woman outside my family I saw in a bra, and she owned it! She taught me the right way to make ribs and work a grill. She was my friends’ mom and my friend and the world was a better place because she was in it. Love and hugs to her clan.
My sympathy to Mary Margaret’s family. Peace be to you all.

There are two things I’ll always remember about Mary, the American fries in heaven will now always be a perfect golden brown on both sides. . . . every slice. Or they will never go out to the customer. And, her devotion and care for Donna every visitors day luncheon at he Arcadia Nursing Home.
A donation will be made in her memory to the Salvation Army in LaCrosse.
