Margaret Rickman
1917-2008
Margaret Teresa Rickman, 91, of Louisburg, formerly of Bucyrus, died Sunday, Oct. 5, 2008.
She was born April 22, 1917, at Wea, the daughter of John and Gertrude Troll Pfannes.
She graduated from Bucyrus High School in 1936 at the age of 19.
She worked at several locations in Kansas City before marrying Harry B. Niccum in 1945. He preceded her in death, and she married Vern Rickman in 1967. He preceded her in death in June 1973.
She took great pleasure in country and western music, dancing, playing the organ and singing in the church choir. So much of her life was spent giving and caring for others. That was just her nature.
