Margaret Jane (Bright) Bourne

Margaret Jane (Bright) Bourne was born to Clyde Adrun and Alice (Miller) Bright on April 23, 1941 in Logan, Utah. Her brother, Jay Bright, beloved son, Michael Lawrence Bourne, and loving husband, Larry Bourne preceded her in death. She peacefully passed away on January 5, 2026 at the Wisconsin Veterans Home at King in Waupaca, Wisconsin.

Margaret joined her beloved husband, Larry Vern Bourne (U.S. Army, Retired), less than one month after his passing. Larry, born October 12, 1941, and Margaret were married in the Logan Utah Temple on July 8, 1960. They grew up together from early childhood in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with families that were especially close, forming bonds that endured throughout their lives.

Margaret was an amazing artist with a compassionate heart and a joyful love for music and children. She devoted much of her life to serving others as a preschool teacher while faithfully raising their four children and supporting her husband throughout his 25-year military career, including assignments in Germany and across the United States.

Margaret was deeply loved by all who knew her and she touched countless lives through her kindness, creativity, and quiet strength. She will be forever missed by her family, friends, and all who were blessed to know her, leaving behind a legacy of love, service, and faith.

She is survived by her four children, Kevin and (Christine) Bourne, Joel and (Jacqueline) Bourne, Kristina Bourne (Smick), and Kylene and (Brian) Dieck. She also has several grandchildren (Faith, Amber, Julian, Vivace, Joel Jr., Jonas, Jacxs, Jriver, Brittany, Caleb, Cameo, Gabrielle, and Alexandra), plus two precious great grandchildren (Wesley and Melody).

Her funeral service will be held at the Konrad-Behlman Funeral Home-Eastside, 402 Waugoo Ave. Oshkosh, WI on Friday, January 9, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. Visitation will be held at the funeral home from 5:00 p.m. until the time of the service. She will be laid to rest in the East Garland Cemetery in Garland, Utah at a later date.
