Margaret Elaine Gamble's Obituary
Margaret Elaine Gamble, 95, peacefully left us to be with the Lord on Friday, December 9, 2022. She was born on October 17, 1927, in Jackson, Michigan to Cyril J. and Natalie (Pettit) Hartman, Sr. She will be remembered for her courageous strength and independence. Margaret was a very kind and gracious lady that offered guidance to those in need and believed in being all she could be. She acquired a Business Degree from Jackson Community College, and became an Accountant, owning her own business (Margaret H. Gamble Accounting/Tax Service) for over 50 years, retiring in 2015. Over the many years her clients became her extended family whom for many, special friendships grew. Margaret was an active member of the American Society of Women Accountants and Independent Accountants Association of Michigan. She thoroughly enjoyed and was very proud of her home, golfing and playing bridge with her friends. She will deeply be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Margaret will be missed by her children, Michelle King of South Lake and Michael Rooney of Oklahoma; a very special closeness to her grandson Sean P. (Kim) King and great grandson, Bennett; several grand and great grandchildren, two nieces, Claudia (Hartman) Harrington and Debbie (Hartman) Krans. She is preceded in death by her parents, husband Bernard G. Rooney and husband of 32 years, Nelson M. Gamble, a step-son Thomas Gamble and brother Cyril J. Hartman, Jr.
