Margaret Magdelene Ault

September 24, 1932 — January 14, 2025

Lee's Summit

Margaret Magdalene (Rago) Ault, loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on January 14th at the age of 92, surrounded by her family.

Born on September 24, 1932, in Kansas City, MO, to John and Mary (Shamrell) Rago, Margaret lived a full and meaningful life. A graduate of Northeast High School, she married the love of her life, Vern Ault Sr., in 1951, and they shared 67 happy years together until his passing in 2018.

Margaret was a dedicated wife and mother, known for her weekly family meals and her love of hosting gatherings for family and friends. She cherished her Italian heritage and was a devoted member of the Nativity Catholic Church in Independence, MO prior to moving to John Knox retirement village and attending Our Lady of Presentation. After 25 years of service, Margaret retired from the Internal Revenue Service. 

Margaret was remembered for her kind and generous spirit, always putting the needs of others before her own. In her free time, she served as a den mother for the Cub Scouts, member of the Altar Society and watched her grandchildren. Margaret also enjoyed listening to the music of Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Tony Bennett. Her warm personality and infectious smile touched the lives of all who knew her. 

Margaret is survived by her children Kathy Warner, Marla (Terry) Herbst, Steve Ault, and Vern Ault Jr (Shelly); grandchildren Angela Warner Rago, Christa Welch, Zachary (Madison) Ault, Abigail Ault, and Ashley Ault; and seven great-grandchildren.

Visitation will be held on Friday, January 24th, from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM at Our Lady of Presentation Catholic Church, followed by a service at 10:30 AM. Burial will be at Mount Olivet Catholic Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Catholic Charities of Kansas City/St. Joseph in Margaret's memory.
