LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Margaret M. Howard, known as Peg to her friends, passed away at home on Dec. 14, 2016.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Ed Howard, and her son, Larry Howard.

She is survived by her daughter, Connie Taylor; son-in-law, Wayne Taylor; grandson, Gary Taylor; granddaughter, Staci Taylor; and two great-granddaughters, Amanda and Emily Weller.

She was a 40-year resident of Clearlake, moving from Concord, Calif., when her husband retired.

She made many dear friends over the years in Lake County, and began an O.A. Group at the then-Redbud Hospital with Candy Hagler in the 1970s. She kept score for the bowling team Ed belonged to, and cooked all the fish he could catch out of Clear Lake.

There will be a private service, and the family requests anyone wanting to honor Margaret at this time to send a donation in her name to Hospice Services of Lake County, 1862 Parallel Dr. Lakeport, CA  95453, telephone 707-263-6222.
