AUGUSTA – Margaret K. Rumpf, 98, of Augusta, passed away peacefully June 14, 2021, surrounded by loved ones. She was born Sept. 13, 1922, in Auburn, N.Y. to Paul and Josephine Murphy.
She loved to read, write poems, and keep journals. She worked as a stenographer before marrying David on Sept. 1, 1945, and they were blessed with 10 children. When she was a little girl, she told her mother that she either wanted to be a nun, to take care of babies in the orphanage, or have 10 babies of her own. Her large, loving family is eternally grateful that she chose the latter. In fact, her greatest joy was being a mom. She loved to get down on the floor to play and read to all her “little people.”
