Margaret R. Klovis, 99, of Struthers, Ohio, passed away peacefully on September 9, 2026, at Hampton Woods. Born on April 4, 1927, in Struthers, she was the daughter of the late Michael J. and Mary (Pavlansky) Petruska.

She was a homemaker who devoted much of her life to caring for her family. When she worked outside the home, she was employed at various card shops throughout the area.
Margaret found joy in the simple things in life. She especially loved gathering around the table to play cards with her family and friends, creating memories that will be treasured for years to come.
