Margarett was born June 16, 1947 to Tom and Fae McArthur in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was an active and devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Through her life she served many positions within the church. Margarett loved reading or listening to the scriptures on a daily basis and serving those that she could.
Margarett loved the outdoors, a good book, cross stitching, hunting for arrowheads, exploring old mining areas, spending time with her family, serving the lord and a cold diet pepsi.
Margarett’s smile, kindness, and compassion towards those in need will be truly missed by all who knew her. She married the love of her life, Richard Blake, August 14, 1965 in the St. George Temple for time and all eternity. Where they went on to create a sarcastic, fun-loving family.
