"My deepest sympathies to your family. I loved Margaret and owe her the best part of my life, becoming an ER Volunteer at Good Sam. I sent Anita a card as I had no address for your family. I\'ve also been asked to be notified if there are services. Blessings on all, Lyn Warder (lyn627@msn.com)"
In loving memory of
Margaret Pullman
February 14, 1930 - September 7, 2020
Margaret Pullman passed away peacefully on September 7, 2020 at the age of 90.
Margaret was born February 14, 1930 and raised in Steyr, Austria. In 1953, while working for US Intelligence in Salzburg, Austria, she met and married then Major, Milton Pullman. They moved to the United States in 1954, where she became a US Citizen. She loved being an Army wife with all the traveling it entailed. The family settled in Phoenix in 1968. She was an amazing hostess, phenomenal cook, and the matriarch of her family. Her ministry in the Catholic Church was long lived and the basis of her faith. She also loved helping others by working and volunteering at several area hospitals. She leaves a multitude of friends and a wake of beautiful memories.

She is survived by her two daughters, Maureen Ohab, Michele Martin, and her son Michael Pullman; her sister Christa Windhager; nephew Stefan Windehager; her grandchildren Stephani Dorr, Emily Runnion, Curtis Yahner, and Maggie Raley; and one great-grandchild, Jamison Dorr.

Tributes
"I was saddened to read that Margaret passed away. I was a young nurse at Scottsdale Memorial Hospital (Osborn) back in the day and our 4 EAST \"family\" was tight knit. I remember Margaret as a wonderful and giving lady who hosted us crazy people at her home on several occasions. She was so much fun and always positive and upbeat. She served us all as an unofficial confidant and \"mother figure\" and she shared her advise and wisdom in an accepting way. I still have a couple of the recipes she wrote out for me... and I have thought of her over the years as I shuffle through those cards. God bless you and your family as you grieve her loss. She was a special lady. Kathi (Kerr) Zarubi"
