Margaret Hull

     Margaret Catherine Hull, 93, passed away May 10, 2022, at Gundersen Hospital in Whitehall. She was born Aug. 4, 1928, to John and Frances Ford in Philadelphia, PA. 

     Margaret was a very independent woman. Having only the opportunity to have reached the eighth-grade before the need to help her family in the workforce, she went to work for the Neptune Inn for the following 35 years, and on her days off, worked at other motels and also worked at a sandwich shop making hoagies and at the cafeteria at the VA hospital. Margaret enjoyed to play games on Facebook, any kind of crafting, including painting, but especially crocheting. Margaret collected everything; knick knacks or treasures - it didn’t make a difference. She had a great love for her children, grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren and animals, especially her cat, Pixie. She liked to wear her jewelry. She lived in Florida, Tennessee, New Jersey and finally made her way back to Wisconsin to be closer to her ailing daughter. Margaret was always one to rather give a helping hand then to receive one. 

     Margaret is survived by her children, Kenneth Hull and Kathleen Murray; grandchildren April Hartley, Tim Coupe, Mary Jo (Kerry) Rhoades, Nicole Stuve, Chelsea Torgerson and Mark DeFrank; nine great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren. 

     She is preceded in death by her parents; children John Hull and Margaret Hull Coupe; brother John Hull; and sister Frances Sunderland. 

     A prayer service will take place Thursday, June 9, 2022, at Torgerson’s Funeral Home at 7 p.m. to honor Margaret and her late daughter, Margaret Coupe.
