Margaret K. Harding Our mother, sister, aunt and friend was taken from us far too soon after a brave but brief battle with cancer. Margaret, 57, was born in Champaign, IL and passed away on April 15, 2009 in Tucson, AZ. Predeceased by parents, E. J. "Bud" and Kathryn V. Sanderson. She was the devoted mother of Ryan (Ivy) Harding; loving sister to Robert (Jackie) Sanderson, Sarah "Sally" (Robert) Remington and M. Susan (Ray) L'Heureux. She was the adored "Aunt DiDi" to Stacy (Drew) Peckham , Michael (Kristi) Wintrode , Kate (Greg) Walter, Marcie Sanderson, Stefani Paisley, Nathan and Andrew Wintrode and a loyal friend to many others. Margaret came to Tucson with her family in 1959. She graduated from Palo Verde High School in 1969 and began her working career which included many years with Southwest Gas. Most recently, she was a Realtor. Mom, Margaret, Maggie, Aunt DiDi, you gave us so much in your short time with us and we will never forget you. You will live on in the hearts of all of us who loved you so very much. Our sincere thanks to the staff of St. Mary's Hospice for their loving care. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Humane Society of Southern Arizona, 3450 S. Kelvin Blvd, Tucson 85716.
