Margaret Atwell is a transplant to Yuba County. She and her husband John searched the greater Sacramento area for a county that would fit the bill for their retirement lifestyle. Yuba county, and primarily Loma Rica, was the perfect fit and they’ve enjoyed their retirement from United Airlines ever since moving here 7 years ago. Margaret and John have 6 children and 16 grandchildren between the two of them, keeping them young at heart. 

Margaret worked for United Airlines for more than 25 years, primarily in customer service. The last 8 years of her career was in the training department. She especially enjoyed teaching classes internationally and in various cities across the US. Margaret was also tasked with security, safety and regulatory duties requiring record keeping for multiple government audits. 

Prior to her employment with United Airlines her time was filled volunteering with her children’s school, sports, and church activities. From being the lunch lady at the elementary school, serving on the board of AAU basketball league, or organizing multiple fund raisers, she realized being involved was critical for her children. She firmly believes building and supporting solid conservative foundations for children makes a difference in the citizens they become. 

When YCRCC’s previous secretary stepped down to run for a local office, Margaret volunteered to fill in and was voted in the following month. Both she and her husband know that being involved locally is fundamental to keep Yuba the county they have grown to love but more importantly, for their children and grandchildren.
