Mary Margaret Walter

Mary Margaret Walter, 76, of Holmen, died on Monday, March 20, 2023 at the Northgate Care Center in Waukon, IA. She was born on August 27, 1946 in La Crosse to Leo and Bernice (Wilder) Heilman.

Even with her passing, the memories of Mary’s unwavering faith and love for her family will continue to shape the lives of those closest to her.
