Margaret Lorett Pawlowski Acord, 87, of Riverton, Utah passed away Friday May 19, 2023 in her home, surrounded by her family, from the effects of dementia. She was born September 28, 1935 in American Fork, UT to Friedrich Pawlowski and Emma Borkowski. She was one of fourteen children. She married Richard Kent Acord. They were married at the Salt Lake Temple on April 20, 1962. Marge graduated from American Fork high school in 1953 and was accepted to Brigham Young University. Instead of attending BYU, she started working as a Nurses Aid at Ogden LDS hospital. Marge worked there for approximately two years at which time Doctor Delbert Hales of American Fork recruited her to become his nurse. Marge worked for Doctor Hales until June of 1959. Marge then accepted a call to serve a Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the West German mission. This is where Marge met her eternal companion and husband, Richard Kent Acord. Marge served a lifetime of service in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. Her favorite calling was Stake Young Women's President. Marge was the most kind and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend to all she met. Marge is blessed with three incredible children, Richard Kent Acord II (Rocky), Michael Lee Acord, and Lisa Lorett Acord. Marge is a grandmother to 14 grandchildren and soon to be 7 great grandchildren. Margaret had the privilege of raising her family in Van Nuys, California and in 1974, Marge and Richard had an opportunity to move to the state of Utah and lived in Neola, Sandy, and Riverton. In Neola, Marge satisfied her desires to have a large garden and raise animals. Once Marge retired, she and her husband served a mission together in the Independence Missouri Visitor Center which was a highlight of her life.
