Margaret J. Walcutt, 95, died Thursday, July 24, 2025 at Altercare of Bucyrus where she had resided for nearly four years.

She was born July 16, 1930 in Oceola to the late Robert J. and Carol G. (Beach) Frost. Margaret grew up in rural Crawford County and graduated in 1948 from Holmes-Liberty where she was a cheerleader for the Pirates. Later that year, Margaret married Kermit C. Walcutt who preceded her in death in 2013.

Margaret will be remembered for her kindness, care, and helping nature. She spent a short time working at the former El Sombrero Restaurant and Timken, then enjoyed raising her family as a homemaker. She was a gifted cook with memorable meals and cherished recipes handed down to her family. Margaret helped Helen King with catering events and making their famous soft pretzels. She was a member of Bucyrus United Methodist Church and active in the former Grace UMC where she was a Sunday School teacher and helped with banquets and meals. Socially, she spent a number of years bowling in various leagues at Suburban Lanes and she and Kermit enjoyed gathering with friends to play cards. She took her grandchildren to ball games, planted beautiful flowers at home, and she and Kermit enjoyed frequent visits to Carolyn’s Diner.
