Margaret B. Tatusko

Margaret Bading Tatusko passed away peacefully on May 20, 2026 at her home. Born in Bonn, Germany on December 27, 1937, Margaret came to America aboard the SS United States in January of 1962 for a yearlong adventure. The Kennedy years were a draw and Washington, DC seemed the place to be. She met Stephen Tatusko at the Old Europe in Georgetown and the rest, as they say, is history. The family of four lived in Vienna, VA where Margaret raised their two children. Eventually she took a job at The Italian Gourmet before settling in at The Container Store Tysons Corner for over 25 years where more than a few customers often asked for “the nice German lady” to assist them. Many of these regulars became good friends inviting her to coffee and lunch outings. Margaret was preceded in death by her husband Steve and is survived by her children Kristina Tatusko Henry and husband Mike Henry of Easton, MD, her son Stephen Tatusko and wife Lorena of Great Falls, VA, three grandchildren Allegra Tatusko Euler and husband Lukas Euler of Scottsdale, AZ, Konradt Tatusko of Sterling, VA and Saskia Tatusko of Great Falls, VA and a sister Elsbeth Klose-Bading of Bonn, Germany as well as numerous family and friends on both sides of the Atlantic. Margaret will be remembered for her outgoing personality, her beautiful knitting, her delicious cooking, and mostly for her kind and generous spirit. She loved knowing you all and has enjoyed this ride together. There will be a private burial service with family. Thank you for being a part of our lives, auf Wiedersehen.
