So sorry to hear about your mother (and father - just learning now). What great people! We're Jackson Co. relatives who remember happy times at the Davis home. My Mom, Margaret (Williams) Lloyd, and Joe went to Sunday School and Christian Endeavor together in Iowa, and then reconnected after she married my father, Lewis Parry, cousin to Aunt Ester. Margie and Joe were just incredible, giving, and kind. So sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Megan Lloyd, Margaret Lloyd, and family

Dear Tom, Gina and McKenna,
We are very sorry for your loss. I always remember that she sent me an angel in the mail the year we worked so hard at Kernal Encore. Now she is singing with the Angels!

Oh how we will miss Margie at First Community! She was so strong after Joe died and knew he was waiting for her. I can see him smiling and giving her a big hug. She so loved her family and had so much fun with her great grandchildren! Jane, Don and the rest of her family will miss her deeply but I know their faith in God will carry them. What a joy it was to get to know both Joe and Margie. I am grateful for that
