Margaret Ann Rone, 87, of North Aurora, Illinois passed away Sunday, September 15, 2024 at her home surrounded by loved ones. She was born July 8, 1937 in Stuttgart, Arkansas.

Margaret attended school in Cardwell, Missouri, where she met her future husband Lanny D. Rone, Sr., soon after they were married in Mississippi at a young age on May 4, 1955.
