Artistic and humorous in nature, Margaret spent her life entertaining and caring for her children.

She enjoyed working as an office clerk and sales person before marriage and after her children were older. Maggie was very active and always had a group of friends or adult children to join her at the casino, the theater, special events or her weekly keno club. She brought joy and laughter to every activity in which she was involved. She was a sweet person who was rarely seen without a smile on her face and had a kind word for everyone. She was a great example of love, kindness, forgiveness and fun. She will truly be missed by family and friends. Margaret was preceded in death by her husband Jack J. Faust, her parents Helen and Anthony Caballero, and her siblings Helen Bernard, Hilda Ducote, Joseph Autin, and Enola Orillion.
