Margaret was born April 9, 1931, the daughter of Ralph and Margaret (Hoffman) Ferderer. She was raised and educated in country schools and received her GED later in life from Mandan Senior High School.
On Oct. 26, 1948, she married the love of her life, Jacob "Jack" Hopfauf, in Crown Butte, and celebrated 50 years of marriage, prior to his death in 1999. Marge was blessed with a full life having nine children, 18 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. She worked 40-plus years as a banquet waitress at the Holiday Inn, the Sheraton, the GP Hotel and the Town House, where she loved being of service to others. She also worked in the administrative office for Developers Incorporated.
She was an active member of the Mandan Eagles Club, the Mandan Moose Club, the KC Club, the Golden Age Club and the Catholic Daughters.
She enjoyed many activities, including caring for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She deeply loved her children, sisters and brothers. She also enjoyed cooking, card playing, bingo, square dancing and volunteering at Christ the King and Liberty Heights Senior Center, and will be missed by many. One of her thrills was being a contestant on "The Price Is Right" and hearing, "Marge Hopfauf, come on down."
