  Margaret Zwicker Vandenberg, 90, Appleton, died peacefully at St. Elizabeth Hospital surrounded by members of her loving family on April 15, 2011. Margaret was born Jan. 21, 1921, in Appleton, Wis., daughter of the late Walter and Helen Ryan Zwicker. She attended Appleton High School and graduated from St. Mary's Springs Academy, Fond du Lac, and Mundelein College, Chicago. She married Paul P. Vandenberg on Aug. 7, 1944. Together they raised eight children. Paul preceded Margy in death on Dec. 18, 2002. Margy's time of employment outside the home was brief, but she earned the distinction, as librarian, of being the first female employee of St. Norbert College, De Pere. Margy was active in the Appleton community early in their married life, as Girl Scout leader, in King's Daughters and in bridge groups at St. Mary Church and school and eventually at Xavier High School. As her family grew, she devoted herself and her time to making their home a nurturing place for family and friends. We remember her bread, apple pies, chocolate desserts, pot roast and so much more which was always expandable for the unexpected guest. In recent years she cared for us all by naming each one as she prayed the Rosary nightly before she fell asleep. She was a lifelong member of St. Mary Catholic Church, Appleton, where she was baptized, confirmed, married and now will be buried. Margy loved raising her family and taught them to love, respect and enjoy others. She and Paul demonstrated hospitality, kindness and service and she instilled in her children a love of reading and learning. Margy will be deeply missed by her children, P. Peter (Mary) Vandenberg, Appleton; John (Barbara) Vandenberg, Melbourne, Fla.; Thomas (Karen) Vandenberg, Coral Springs, Fla.; Barbara (Milo) Foster, Sydney, Australia; Richard (Lee) Vandenberg, Germantown, Tenn.; James P. (June) Vandenberg, Appleton; Neil (Pat) Vandenberg, Elmhurst, Ill.; son-in-law, Charles Snyder, Viera, Fla.; and by her 18 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Margy is survived also by a brother, Walt Zwicker; sister-in-law, Cele Zwicker; and many nieces and nephews.
