School, where she began many lasting friendships. She married Edward 'Spud' 
Kehoe in 1947, and they were team Spud and Margaret for 58 years. After the

25-year teaching career with the Bakersfield City School District. She loved 
music and art and her creative abilities were shared with both her students

painting. After her retirement, she was able to renew her childhood love of 
horses. An accomplished rider, she spent many happy hours with her beloved 
horse, Lady C. Margaret and Spud moved from Bakersfield to Arroyo Grande in 
1996, and they enjoyed the challenge of building and decorating their dream 
home. She recently joined a writing class and she shared her life story with 
new friends while writing her memoirs. Margaret is survived by her husband, 
Spud, and daughter, April, of Arroyo Grande; daughter, Lynn Roberts and
