Our dear Margaret Ann Walters went to Heaven into the loving arms of Jesus early Wednesday morning, May 20, 2026 after a courageous two year battle with sarcoma.
Margaret was born September 14, 1948 in Sacramento, CA to Jay and Harriett Farnsworth. She graduated high school in Grantsville UT where she met her husband Ronald Dean Walters. They married in August 1967. Margaret loved working and volunteering in her community where she made lifelong friends. Her greatest joy was sharing her faith and her love of Jesus. Up until her final days she sent daily devotions to her children and grandchildren.
Margaret is preceded in death by her parents, brother Richard Farnsworth, daughter Penny Walters.
She is survived by her husband Ronald Dean Walters, Wendy (Gary) Riddle, John (Melinda) Walters, sister Annette (Bob) Robison, seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren. She will be greatly missed. Special thanks to the First Baptist Church of Grantsville, Huntsman Cancer Institute and Harmony Home Health and Hospice.
Services will be held Thursday, June 4th at 11:00am at the First Baptist Church of Grantsville where we will share stories and memories to celebrate her life.

My heartfelt condolences to your family.
My deepest condolences to the family. I had the opportunity to become friends with Margaret while we worked at Walmart. We became Walmart family. She always had a warm loving spirit, she was kind to everyone. She will definitely leave an absence in this world. Until we meet again my sweet friend❤️
Margret was always kind, Friendly and caring for all. I have known her because we both live in Grantsville. Four days before Margret passed and since then I have been thinking about her a lot and then I found out she died Wednesday and I know why I was thinking about her. There’s a power and an energy that happens when you love someone. I love and miss you, Margret.
Today we speak your name with love,
And hold your memory near,
For though we cannot see your smile,
We still can feel you here.
In quiet ways you shaped our lives,
With kindness, strength, and grace,
And time will never take away
The warmth of your embrace.
The world feels softer for your touch,
Though now you’ve gone ahead,
Your laughter lingers in our hearts,
In every tear we shed.
So rest in peace, dear Margret,
Your journey now is free,
And those who loved you carry on
With all you gave so selflessly.
Until we meet again someday,
Beyond this grief and pain,
We’ll find you in the morning light
And whisper your sweet name.
Heaven has grown more precious with the homegoing of our dear friend and sister in Christ. My prayers are with Dean, John, Wendy and the rest of the family as they remember this special lady.

You were the best second mother a guy could ask for. You have been a constant Pilar in my life. I couldn’t count the number of hugs I have gotten from you. I will miss those. Our talks were cherished. There was no question about your love of our Savior Jesus Christ. Until we meet again Mom. I love you.
What a beautiful woman, with the sweetest, lovely personality Margaret is. I’m sure that her reunion with her Heavenly family is beautiful. I knew Margaret and Dean only in passing, but always with deep love. May the Lord comfort you and your loved one in the time to come.
