Margie Grier was an awesome lady. So full of life and energy. She had a dynamic personality, She was bubbly and had such a positive presence. Having known her for about 41 years, she was very nice to me from day one until the end. She will never be forgotten. Margie was one of a kind. She had her own unique personality. She had a heart about the size of the state of Texas.......Had a big heart and was so generous to so many, many people. She loved blessing people with large tips, it could be waiters/waitresses, limo drivers, airport baggage workers, maids/housekeepers, or any service oriented professional who came across her path. We all loved Margie dearly and it is as though a big void is missing in the Grier family since The Lord took her home. I thank God for her life and for her being in our lives all these many years. Her nephew "Freddie" as she always called me.

Margie is now with the angels and will watch over all of those she loved—her husband Rosey at the top of her list. What a wonderful pair they made through life. She will be greatly missed by all of us whose lives she touched in such a positive way. Always a smile and welcome greeting. For 39 years we've been friends. Love you forever, Margie.

My condolences to the Grier family. I was in Angelus Funeral Home lobby waiting we had just buried my aunt who was married to my uncle for 65 years. I saw Mr. Grier pass by, you can tell he was broken, but yet very curteous. The years have been really good to him! God Bless you and your family - Robin Williams

Although the final chapter of her life has ended; the precious memories we have will last throughout eternity. Margie will forever be remembered by those who knew her, loved her, and had the pleasure of meeting her. She was a beautiful woman, a godly woman, a good wife, a great mother, a role model, and a friend.
