Margot was born in Fulda, West Germany on April 19, 1940 to Phillip and Anna Freund. Margot started working at a very young age doing various jobs to help her family. From installing filament’s in light bulbs to working in a baby clothing factory. Begging for chewing gum and Hershey chocolate bars from the American soldier’s as a child. She grew up to marry her own United States Army soldier- James E. Jett Jr.! They were married and a year later moved to Arizona where James was born and raised. Settling in Kingman, AZ for James’ job was definitely a shock for Margot! She learned to drive a manual VW Bug that James had shipped from Germany, on Hualapai Mountain Road starting her long career of an interesting driver!
She became a U.S. Citizen in 1964, a proud moment for her! Not one to sit around Margot worked at various establishments in Kingman. At Mohave General Hospital, she was a nurses aid. She filled in when needed at Fetrow’s Jewelry Store and finally at L.W. Hardy Turquoise Company where she started as an interpreter for German clients. she eventually moved up higher in the company and was Vice President. She moved to Apache Junction, AZ in 1977 to run operations at the Florence Junction, AZ plant. She retired after 20 years. But again, she couldn’t sit still! She moved to Cary, NC after James passed away and enjoyed 5 years of southern hospitality! But, Arizona was calling her back! Fountain of the Sun was her final home where she loved her poker playing friends! Receiving her trophy for Birdies 2025 Texas Hold ‘Em championship was truly a proud moment for her!
