It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother and friend, Margaret B. Beasley, 90, of Las Cruces, New Mexico. Our hearts rejoice that she was greeted at the Golden Gates of Heaven by her beloved husband, Harlan, on Friday, June 13, 2014. Margaret was a wonderful homemaker, seamstress and sports fanatic who was active in St. Paul's "Stitching for Christ" group, retired teachers, and Ladies Extension Club. Margaret lived in Clovis for 35 years and worked as an elementary school librarian at Cameo Elementary before she retired and moved to Las Cruces in 1985 to be closer to her children. Margaret was born in Danville, Tennessee, on July 19, 1923, the only daughter of Kenneth and Eura Lee Bell. Those left to mourn her passing are her two sons, Don (Patsy) Beasley, and Jeff (Kim) Beasley. She was Nana to grandchildren Brad (Kathy) Beasley, David (Kimberly) Beasley, Damon Beasley and Dana Beasley. Called "GG" by her great-grandchildren Zachary Beasley, Beaux Beasley and Lucas Beasley. She is also survived by her brothers, Bill (Jimmie) Bell, Mike Bell, and sister-in-law Lorene Barnes, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Margaret was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 64 years, Harlan Beasley, who passed in 2009. There will be a visitation at St. Paul's United Methodist Church, 225 W. Griggs Ave., on Saturday, June 21, 2014, at 9 a.m., with a celebration of her life at 10 a.m. by senior pastor Dr. Eduardo Rivera. Burial will take place on Monday, June 23, 2014, at 10 a.m. at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Brad Beasley, David Beasley, Damon Beasley, Dana Beasley, Ernest Lara, Mark Baker and Bryan Chippeaux. Honorary pallbearers will be members of her Prayer Shawl group, her Twenty Twenty Vision Sunday School Class, and St. Paul's "Stitching for Christ" group. Our family would like to give a very special thanks to Mesilla Valley Hospice-La Posada and MountainView Hospital for their wonderfully caring help and support at this incredibly sad time for our family. In lieu of flowers, donations to Mesilla Valley Hospice would be appreciated.

Don, Jeff and family, we all have heavy hearts at this time but smiles and laughter at the memories we hold close. The Bells and Beasley always had such good times together. Later I loved staying in touch with us sharing our crochet patterns and Margaret helping me through the hard stitches on the phone. Both parents were such a joy to be around. We were truly blessed. We send our love and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
