Margaret Byrum Obituary
She was a cherished daughter, sister, aunt, and resident of InReach group home at The Plaza. Her spirit will forever live in the hearts of those who knew her.
Through the love and support of her parents, family, community, and InReach staff, Ann lived a full and happy life. Ann grew up in the Steele Creek community and attended Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. She worked for many years at the Nevin's Vocational Workshop, a job Ann was eager to return to every Monday. As an adult, Ann moved to The Plaza group home where she enjoyed living with her friends and developed independent living skills. Ann was very active in the Special Olympics, competing in swimming, track and field, basketball, and bocce. Ann had a love of oldies music, Diet Coke, popcorn, M&M's, animals, shelling beans, puzzles, trips with family (especially to the beach), fishing, sports trivia, and watching all sports, especially her UNC Tar Heels.
Ann was preceded in death by her parents, Erskine and Nancy Byrum, and her brother-in-law, Bill McCormick. She is survived by her sisters and brothers-in-law - Joan McCormick, Betty and Bill Harraman, and Jean and Bill Cathey. Ann is also survived by nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great nephews who dearly loved their Aunt Ann.
Ann's family would like to express their gratitude to the staff and residents of The Plaza group home who were Ann's extended family and provided a safe and loving home for Ann. We know they share our sadness.

Ann was a very sweet lady. I remember her picking green beans, and lima beans in her daddy garden. She could shell a bucket of Lima bean so quick it would make your head spin. Once Ann was introduced to you she never forgot your name. I will always remember Ann and have fond memories of Ann.
