Margaret was born July 27, 1941 in Buffalo, NY, the daughter of Ralph and Edna (VanOrsdoll) Hutton. She married Walter “Dick” Coble on October 20, 1957. Margaret graduated from nursing school at NICC in Peosta. Early in her career, she was employed as a traveling nurse, and later with the Sisters of St. Francis in Dubuque, until her retirement.

Margaret enjoyed bowling, camping, and traveling. Word search puzzles and playing cards with the grandkids were favorite pastimes. She was an avid Hawkeyes fan. Margaret was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, who loved cooking for her family and spending time with family and friends. Searching for the perfect gift to give was a specialty of Margaret’s, and Christmas was her favorite holiday.

Margaret is survived by her husband of 62 years, Walter “Dick” Coble, of Dubuque; her son, Russell (Diane) Coble of Johnston, IA; her daughter, Sherri (Larry) Tscharner, of Dubuque; her grandchildren, Nicole Tscharner, of North Liberty, IA, Kara (Russell) Simon, of Dubuque and their children Madelyn and Ashton, Austin Coble of Iowa City, Chris Coble of Sioux City, and Tristan Coble of Johnston, and Jim Coble and his children Madison and Breceis “Bree”; her brother Cloyce (Linda) Hutton of Linby, IA; her in-laws, Joann (Kenneth) Davis of Bloomfield, IA, Alice Coble of Hedrick, IA, Dan (Lola) Coble, Susan (Rick) Huseman, and Sheila (Pat) Brehm, all of Dubuque; and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her son, Ricky Lee Coble; her parents; her parents-in-law, Walter and Ruth Coble; and her siblings-in-law Larry, Roger, and Jerry Coble.
