Margaret Irene Bode was born on December 20, 1944, to Ray and Lorraine (Hippert) Bode where she grew up on a farm in Courtland. She graduated from Nicollet High School in 1962. On September 4, 1965, she was united in marriage with her high school sweetheart, Howard Dallmann.

Maggie worked alongside her husband on the farm and could often be found in the combine during harvest. She took pride in her garden, growing and canning vegetables for her family to enjoy throughout the year. She was also known for her delicious homemade bread, buns, and cookies.

A devoted wife, mother, and proud grandmother, Maggie treasured time with her grandchildren, making memories through baking cookies, playing cards, and drawing pictures. These simple moments brought her great joy.

Maggie was truly the heart of her family. Her deep faith in God inspired those around her and guided her life. Though she will be deeply missed, the love she shared, memories she created, and faith she passed on will live on in the hearts of those who loved her.

She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Howard; her daughter, Barb (Jim) Dressen and their daughters, Abigail (Jackson) Kunz, great grandchild, Phoebe; and Sydney and her fiancé Braden Fischer; her son, Mike (Andrea) Dallmann and their children Cole and Ali; and her daughter, Terri (Jason) Doolittle and their daughter Charlie; sister Melva (Jeff) Griebel; sister-in-law LaRanda Dallmann; a niece and a nephew and their children.

She was preceded in death by her parents; parents-in-law, Armin, and Bernice Dallmann; brother-in-law Ronald Dallmann; a nephew and a niece.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to the staff at Birchwood Cottages and St. Croix Hospice for all the compassionate care and support they provided to the family.
