Our family would like to honor Dr. Margaret C. Warning in the Plaza of Heroines at Iowa State University. Margaret was an educator at ISU from 1955 - 1980. Dr. Warning, who had degrees in Sociology and Home Economics, came to Iowa State to Chair the Textiles and Clothing Department in 1955. Since that time she has taught in the classroom and out, traveling widely to such far away places as New Zealand, India, and Malaysia. In 1988, she earned a degree in English and has become a published poet.
One of the greatest gifts that Margaret has given is an example of how to celebrate the moments in life. She shares those moments in her first book of poetry, Every Last Thing, which she generously gives to family and friends.
Margaret is a wonderful encourager. She encourages people to look within themselves to find the strength and energy to accomplish what needs to be done. She has a wonderful energy for living and teaches through example that one is never beyond the joy of learning. Margaret has a continued commitment to education, continually encouraging and mentoring others and learning new things herself. She is an avid reader and reads several books a month. Margaret has an adventuresome spirit, making an Af rican Safari on one occasion.
Margaret is the epitome of hospitality and a wonderful conversationalist. Through the years, family members as well as many other students have been welcome with food and a quiet study spot at her home. Dr. Warning, known as "Aunt Market" to family members, has always been a cherished addition to family gatherings. Her stories about her travels and life continue to entertain and teach others.
Margaret is a spiritual person who shares her quiet faith with close friends and family. She treats others with respect and continues to encourage others in their pursuit of learning. to nominate Dr. Margaret C. Warning to the Hall of Heroines because she is foremost an educator.
