- Margaret Spaulding, age 89, of Appleton, passed away Friday, May 17, 2013, at Appleton Medical Center due to health complications.
Margie was born January 17, 1924, in Appleton, the daughter of the late John and Anna (Scherer) Kersten.

Survivors include her sweetheart, Len; her son, Thomas Spaulding, Appleton; two grandchildren: Jesse Spaulding and Shelley (Jeff) Christopherson; great-grandchildren: Dylon, Benjamin, Lexa (deceased), Mickayla, and Nathan; and many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.
