Hank and I loved Ms Margaret. We met her at Pathway. What a Godly sweet lady she was. Rest in peace Margaret. Until we meet again
I have so many wonderful childhood memories of Aunt Margaret. There was a brief time when they lived in the same town as us during my childhood, and I loved having Margaret and Luther nearby. Margaret always spoiled me, like she spoiled my father before me. She used to make my dad’s favorite chocolate pie for him and point it out at family potlucks, just to make sure he got a piece. She always gave the tightest, longest hugs, and lit up every time she saw me. She was the same with my dad. Since Dad is no longer with us, I want to make sure to speak for both of us when I say that Margaret was a special Aunt and an unforgettable lady who we dearly loved.
Aunt Margaret was so loving and kind. She spoiled all of us, and taught us all about the love of Jesus. I have too many stories to tell, but I always got peanut butter fudge when I visited.. I probably drove her and uncle Luther nuts trying to learn to play the piano.. I never mastered “I Dropped My Dolly in the Dirt”. We will miss you terribly. Love Linda
