My prayers and sympathy are with Margaret's family. I have such good memories of Margaret as the Anamosa librarian...she was so kind and helpful. My children enjoyed going to the library, too, and we are all still avid readers.

I am so sorry for your loss. It was such a pleasure to be able to take care of Margaret and to have her become a member of "my family". Always gentle in spirit and so willing to offer help to her fellow residents. She always brightened up the most when the family came for their famous pizza parties! God bless you and I will miss her so!

Whenever I visited the library, Mrs. Tonne always had a smile, a pleasant demeanor, and a kind word. She was a great lady and served her community well.

Deepest sympathy to Marie and Lyle. Sorry we cannot see each other during COVID-10.

We all will miss your mother her days at the library and the family Sunday dinners by our grandmas My thoughts and prayers are with your family Warren Wortman

I was able to get to know Margaret through Meg Doermann. I was her escort to take her to visit Margaret on 3 or 4 occasions. I loved listening to them reminisce about their memories, stories and travel escapades. They laughed and smiled a lot while talking. When staff at Briarwood would ask them how they knew each other, they would explain, with a little laugh, that their son and daughter got a divorce but we didn't. The last two times they saw each other, I could tell Meg left with a heavy heart thinking it was the last time to see her dear friend. So glad I got to know Margaret.

Please accept me sympathy for you and my joy for her being in a beautiful place. Blessings

My deepest condolences on your loss. I spent many days at the library.

As a teen, she helped me, suggesting things, ideas. As an adult, we visited, I read the paper, waiting for my son.

So very sorry for your loss. I went to the library a lot when I was a kid and I loved Mrs. Tonne. She taught me to use the card catalog! Prayers and hugs!!
