Margaret Heidelburg-Mackey Obituary

HEIDELBURG-MACKEY, Margaret Geneva Age 73, of Dayton, Ohio, transitioned this life after a long battle of health issues. With her son holding her hand, she took her final earthly breath on July 15, 2020. Margaret loved her family, spending time with them, having dinner parties and get-togethers just because. Margaret was a Diva, Fashionista, and a Queen and she was loved. She'd dress up for any reason, and all occasions, especially for bingo......you better know and believe she dressed up for bingo! Margaret is preceded in death by her parents, Wallace & Margaret Heidelburg; son, John W. F. Taylor; grandson, Devonte' McLean-Crowders; and husband, Jesse Mackey III.

She also leaves to cherish her memories her life long friend, Donald Crowders; special relative/friends, Thomas, Kelli and Claire (Anderson); best friends, Anna, Cynthia Williams, Barbara McDonald & Dorothy Greathouse; and in-law/friend, Annie J. Harlan. Margaret never met a stranger. If you were her friend then, in time, you'd be her family!

I am just being made aware of her passing and I am so saddened to her. I had the pleasure of taking care of her for many years as her nurse before I left her Homecare. She was fun and feisty and Excellent with numbers. I learned something every time I visited her. I will continue to pray for the family.
