Margaret Helen (Ackerly) Nonestied

November 15, 1947 – August 07, 2026

Margaret began her career life in Harrisonburg Va, after living in New Jersey. She was a librarian for 30 years at Carrier Arts & Music Library at James Madison University.

She transitioned to Fond Du Lac after early retirement and was an integral part of the inaugural launch of ‘Fishing has no boundaries’. She was also a journalist for the Reporter and worked at the FDL Public Library.

Margaret was a kind soul, a polite person, a genteel woman and a devout Christian. She was a caring individual with good friendship skills, no ‘sharp edges’ and no discouraging behavior.

She entered this world and lived her life with style and grace. She departed this world at noon on Aug. 7th with the same style and grace. Leaving no ‘debris’. Displaying no ‘drama’, just memories of a life well lived. Margaret Helen Ackerly was a class act!
