Ava Marguerite Meier Mattingly

I loved all my sister in-laws, but Marguerite was very special. I remember a wonderful talk we had when they visited us one weekend, soon after Judd & I were married. Everytime we visited Huston we always took time to spend a day with our dear sister in-law. I will continue to put flowere on Alfred's grave at Springdale Marguerite. Isn't it wonderful for memories. Love Shirley

I will always remember visting Great Grandmother at her townhouse by Memorial City to go swimming, brushing her hair with her ivory hair brush, and listening to stories about her and her sisters dancing. What a joy to have known her, what an honor to call her Grandmother...

Does anyone else remember how maticulous Aunt M was?? Well, those of you who also knew my Dad will chuckle as I remember him saying when she would visit, "she should be gorgeous as she ties up our bathroom for 3 hours everymoring"! I have such fond memories of listening to her tell stories of long, long ago and always referencing Lewis as if he absolutely hung the moon. Good memories! Thanks, Aunt M!

I did not have the opportunity to see Aunt Maguerite very many times, but I remember her as a sweet, dear, lady. She lived a long wonderful life.

Will always remember helping her celebrate her 100th birthday..what a wonderful time everyone had at her celbation. 107 is long time to do God' work. May we take solace in Psalm 16.8 "I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved". She did and now she is enjoying eternal rest with her Lord, her family and friends. God bless her life and our memories..

What a long and beautiful life she had. Such a classy lady and a great Mother, and Grandmother she was.
May God bless her soul.

I shall always remember our Wed. night outings for dinner and a movie when I lived in Houston. The last movie my Aunt and I saw together was Sunshine Boys. Aunt Marguerite helped me purchase my first pair of white leather gloves. She told me that I wasn't buying gloves to milk cows! I loved her dearly and will cherish the pin she gave me many years ago.
