Margaret Lillian Earleywine

     Margaret passed away peacefully in her sleep on November 12, 2011.  She was born in Laurel, Nebraska March 19, 1941 to Poul and Johansen.

     She is survived by her loving husband, Gene Earleywine; her two sisters, Karen Parker and her husband Dick and Linda Kolasinski and her husband Bob; her brother David Johansen and his wife Robin; and brother-in-law Lee Wieman.  She is also survived by her four children; David Bibby and his wife Jean, Susan McCaa and her husband Bryan, Edwin Hammond III and his wife Eileen, Christopher Hammond and his wife Michalle, her grandchildren; Joe Bibby, Cathy Cavola, Shane Bibby, Darin Bibby, Jodene Trawick, Dean Dee Powell, Rhonda Russell, Briana McCaa, Edwin Hammond IV, Lindsay Anaya, and Nicholas Lehr, 18 great grand children, and numerous great-great grandchildren, as well as cousins, nieces, and nephews.

     She is preceded in death by her parents, brother Marvin Johansen, her sister Anita Wieman, son Byron Bibby, and grandson Mike Bibby.

     She will be greatly missed for so many reasons.  She was an excellent cook, full of practical advice, a loving wife, wonderful mother, and the best grandmother.  Not to mention a supportive sister and friend.  She loved her family dearly.  She was amzing with children and her grandchildren will always remember "Bega" as a willing playmate.

     Her absence affects us all deeply, but we know she would want us to remember that "this too shall pass".

     A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 19, 2011 at 1:00 pm in the Chapel of Dudley-Hoffman Mortuary in Santa Maria, CA.
