Not sure what to say?

We always looked forward to seeing Aunt Margaret at family gatherings. Her upbeat attitude, warm smile, and joyful laugh were contagious. Aunt Margaret was a matriarch and pillar, even for her extended family. She was always interested in catching up on our latest happenings and was an inspiration to all.
Rest in Peace Aunt Margaret. Love, Matt and Tete'

I remember Mrs Rough as a kind and caring person, especially with my sister Katy. She was always smiling, full of life and generally happy to see you. May she rest in peace

We love Margaret so much. She was such a bright spot in our lives. She was Evan’s buddy. So sorry we can’t be there for her funeral. I will always miss our Palm Sunday lectoring together. All of you are in our prayers!

I was very saddened to hear of Margaret’s passing today. I work at the Kroger next door to where she was staying . I so loved and looked forward to seeing Margaret almost daily when the weather permitted. Her son would bring her over and she was always smiling ( when she was awake ). I will miss our visits . Rest in Heaven sweet Margaret . I know you were dearly loved .

Her husband died young and she had the responsibility of overseeing seven children into adulthood. She was upbeat and industrious. Her shop, Diamonds in the Rough, was a gem. I know she was deeply religious. I always saw her at...

So sorry for your loss. Margaret was an important part of Anderson Community School involved in many of our school and community activities. I have many happy memories of Margaret!
