Margaret Ann (Trix) Bischoff

July 15, 1934 - Oct. 27, 2014

Margaret, fondly known at Trix Bischoff, was born July 15, 1934, in Lovell to Robert S. Halliwell and Elizabeth Mae Halliwell.  She was raised in Lovell where she met and married classmate Gene T. Bischoff on July 2, 1953.  After they were married, Trix and Gene spent their summers in Lovell working on the Bischoff family ranch.  When school started in the fall they would move to Laramie for the school year.

They kept the same schedule when they moved to Fort Collins until Gene finished veterinary school in 1963.  At that time, they moved their family of four young children, with the fifth one on the way, to Powell where she lived until her death on Oct. 27, 2014.

Trix died in her home where she raised her five children and helped raise 10 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.  All of her children and grandchildren’s friends knew they were always welcome in her home.

Survivors include her five children and their families: daughter Pam (Jim) Kysar of Powell and their children Aimee (Spencer) Jolley and their children Kaya, Kynlee and Kysar of Dayton, Wyo. and Kasi (Marc) Cantrell and their son Chance of Powell; son Lyle Bischoff of Powell; daughter Val Cross of Powell and her children Kori of Illinois and Justin of Powell; son Max (Maryanne) Bischoff of Lovell and their children Chelsea (Lance) Martin and daughter Easton of Powell, Tyrell (Charis) Bischoff and their daughter Oakley of Lovell and Cade Bischoff of Lovell; daughter Deborah (Lanning) May of Cowley and their children Maci, Miranda and Reece, all of Cowley, and one sister Betty Lou Cantrell of California.

She will be deeply missed by her immediate family, extended family and special friends.

Memorial services will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30, at the Lovell Community Center.
