Eureka - Margaret Gerber Fehr, 94, passed away at 2:45 AM, on Sunday, September 9, 2018 at the Apostolic Christian Home of Eureka.
She was born June 14, 1924, in Ellington, CT, the daughter of Ernest and Tilly Wanner Gerber. She married Eugene Leonard Fehr on September 23, 1951, in Forrest, IL. He passed away on May 8, 2016 in Eureka, IL.
