Margaret Mary, daughter of Henry and Catherine (Steffes) Starman, was born November 3, 1919, near Raeville, Nebraska. Shortly after her birth they moved back to Iowa. Margaret attended school at Holy Angels in Roselle. During her last year in school she worked at home quite a lot as her mother was not well. After completing her schooling, she 'worked out' doing housework and helping families with new babies.

On October 1, 1940, Margaret was united in marriage with Jerome Kasperbauer at St. John's Catholic Church in Adair, her parents' parish. Margaret and Jerome lived on a farm near Manning and were the parents of three children. Margaret was a homemaker and also helped with farm work, gardened, raised chickens and babysat over the years. She was a member of Sacred Heart Parish, Altar Society, and Catholic Daughters of the Americas. Margaret was a member of the Chat and Sew Club, enjoyed playing bingo and playing cards with amily and friends.

After retiring, Margaret and Jerome moved into the Lamp Apartments in Manning in 2002. Jerome died on March 11, 2006, and Margaret continued to live in their apartment until she moved to Char-Mac Assisted Living in Manning in June 2016. She died there on Sunday, March 5, 2017, at the age of 97 years, months, and 2 days.
