SIOUX FALLS — Margaret Ellen (Scotter) Eid, 80, of Sioux Falls and formerly of Huron, passed away peacefully surrounded by her children Friday, April 30, 2021, at Tieszen Memorial Home in Marion.


Celebration of life and memorial service will be held 2 p.m. Saturday, May 22, at Riverview United Methodist Church in Huron.   


Margaret was born in Huron to Elmer and Flora (Holforty) Scotter on December 16, 1940. She grew up on a farm and attended a country school south of Huron. She graduated in 1958 from Huron High School. She became a teacher and taught in Ellendale, N.D., then chose to go back to school graduating from St Johns Hospital of Medical Technology and graduated from SDSU in Brookings in 1964. She worked as a medical technologist for St Johns Hospital, now Huron Regional Medical Center for over 35 years.


She married Marvin Eid, raising their children in Huron, and moved to Sioux Falls later after retiring. She enjoyed traveling, including Hawaii and a Bahama cruise. She had a special interest for writing short stories and especially liked antique shopping. But her biggest love was for her children. She was a wonderful cook who always made sure they were well fed, including their friends, and anyone who walked in the door. 


Margaret is survived by her children, Guyman Eid of Sioux Falls, Gayla Eid of Kansas City, Mo., Penny (Martin) Lindsey of Aiea, Hawaii; her siblings, Shirley (Bill) Gilbert, Don (Gail) Scotter; grandsons, Jordan (Erika) Stahl, Connor Lindsey; and great-granddaughter, Mia Stahl.  
Margaret is preceded in death by her parents, Elmer and Flora Scotter; her grandparents; aunts and uncles.


The family of Margaret wishes to extend their sincere thanks to her family at Tieszen Memorial Home and  Aseracare Hospice.


Arrangements are by Chapel Hill Funeral Home of Sioux Falls.
