Margaret Frum
December 14, 1924 — April 12, 2017
She was born December 14, 1924, in Churchtown, OH, to John G. and Alice Schwendeman Klinger. She was a graduate of Waterford High School and St. Joseph's Hospital's nursing program in Parkersburg, WV. Margaret's nursing career took her from Florida, to Virginia, back to St. Joseph's, and finally to the pediatric ward of Marietta Memorial Hospital where she retired after a 35 year career. Following her retirement, Margaret enjoyed traveling the country with her husband, Howard Olden Frum, making multiple trips across the United States by car. She often told stories of her trips to Las Vegas with Howard and friends, always mentioning the Rat Pack, Elvis, and the many other shows they saw while there. Margaret was strong in her faith and was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church, Marietta OH.
She is survived by her son, Howard Robert Frum (Diana), with whom she resided since 2003 in Morgantown, WV. She is also survived by two grandchildren, Oliver Frum of Seattle, WA, and Julianna Frum of Starkville, MS; and her brother Robert Klinger (Margaret) of Watertown, OH; along with multiple, loving nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband Howard; her parents; her sisters Marian and Ella Mae, and her brother John.
