Margaret E. (Ferguson) Pfoutz was born to Kelly and Wilma (Bunting) Ferguson on August 29, 1933, as the youngest of three children. She went home to be with her Lord on Monday, January 18, 2021. West Virginia was her home until she entered college. After becoming a Registered Dietitian at Case Western University, she had a long and distinguished career as a public health dietitian. For her service as the director of the West Virginia Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program, she was inducted into the West Virginia Public Health Hall of Fame.

Throughout her life, Margaret has joyfully served her Lord, family and friends. She married Richard W. Pfoutz in 1986 gaining a son and 2 grandchildren. They were dedicated to one another until his death in 2007. She has mentored, taught and loved many young people, particularly those in her church family. She was preceded in death by her parents, sister Marilyn Ferguson Wagner, brother James Alan Ferguson, husband Richard W. Pfoutz, and step-son Richard L. Pfoutz. She is survived by daughter-in-law Susan Pfoutz Smereck; grandchildren: Eric and Beth Pfoutz; great grandson, Tarren Pfoutz; nieces: Esther Baker, Carol Cornish, Darla Hosteadler and cousins including Earlene Vittone and family.
