Margaret Mary (Graves) Aaland, 78, of Fargo, died Monday, July 21, 2015, at Essentia Hospital.
Margaret "Peg," the daughter of Carl and Stella (Bushey) Graves, was born on June 8, 1937 in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Peg was united in marriage to Wayne Harvey Aaland in January, 1955, in Detroit Lakes.

She was employed as a chemical dependency counselor in Shakopee, Minn., in Bismarck, N.D., and for St. John's/Heartland in Fargo, until she retired in 1994.

Peg was a voracious reader, a merciless Scrabble player, a sage counselor and a beloved friend. Peg was a fighter and a cancer survivor. When confronted with her most recent grim diagnoses she felt at peace having gracefully and fully lived some twenty years beyond everyone's expectations.
Peg is survived by her four children, Laurie, Wayne, Becky and Cash. She is also survived by eight grandchildren, six great grandchildren, one sister-in-law, Lois Graves, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Peg was preceded in death by her parents; husband Wayne; four brothers, Claude, John (Jack), Jerry and Jim; and three sisters, Genevieve Shriner, Kathryn Kahlberg and Patricia Housholder.
