There are words that describe the contributions Margaret Sims made to those with whom she loved and was associated with. She supported every friend and some people she didn't even know and had only "heard of" in every way especially if she found someone was without, or in need. She was an incredible personality who was loved and respected by each and every soul that really knew her. She had a devoted and fierce love for her family and anyone acquainted with her found that out shortly after meeting her. We certainly extend our sincere condolences to each member of her family that she loved so very much. This world will miss Ms. Margaret Sims. Our prayer is that she will now rest in peace beside her beloved Olan. She was a dear person and it was privilege to know and love her. There are so many memories circling in my head as I write this...too many to mention. Rest in Peace Margaret!

Margaret was my favorite sister-in-law. Always made us welcome to family reunions.She loved the young people so much and they loved her. She was such a hard worker-Olan said she was the only person he knew that cleaned the house before the maid came. She will be missed.

Ms. Margaret was a beautiful lady inside and out.Always had a smile on her face, she will be missed by many.I know that she is walking the streets of gold with Mr. Olan now with that pretty smile on her face. Love you Ms. Margaret !
