Margaret Ann Faulkner Pierson, 89, of Gooding passed away April 7, 2021, at her home.
Marg was born in Los Angeles, California, on March 8, 1932, to Edna Edholm Hendry. Following her mother’s death Marg moved to Gooding, Idaho where she was adopted by her parents – Ralph and Edith (Edholm) Faulkner. She was raised in Gooding with her three brothers and graduated from Gooding High School in 1950.
Marg attended the University of Idaho for one year and was a member of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority. Though her time there was short Marg was a lifelong Vandal and sorority sister. She left Moscow to come home and marry her husband of 51 years, Marvin Pierson. Marg and Marvin were married on September 28, 1952.
Marg was briefly employed at the county assessor’s office before starting her family. She was an integral part of the Pierson Farms and Pierson Construction businesses that she and her husband started. Marg was also a frequent substitute teacher at the Gooding High School and fondly remembered by many former students. She was often approached years later by these students to reminisce over times at Gooding High School. As her children grew, she later enjoyed selling real estate.
Marg is survived by: daughter – Nancy (John) Etchart; sons – Pat (Mary) Pierson, Tim (Cathi) Pierson and Ted (Bille) Pierson, all of Gooding; grandchildren – Ryan (Jenny) Etchart, Travis Etchart, Sarah (Mitch) Sorensen, Megan (Sean) Jantz, Corri Pierson, Kyli Pierson, Kash Wilson, and Jed Pierson; six great-grandchildren; and brothers – John (Jodi) Faulkner and Fred (Susan) Faulkner.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; brother Jim; and many dear friends.
