Margo Bates

Aunt Margo became a part of my family a little over 20 years ago when her brother (LeRoy Bates) and my mother (Joyce Goree) were joined in marriage. I will miss Aunt Margos sweet smile and bubbly face.
I wish we could all have enjoyed one last Chinese meal together (that she delightfully prepared). I wish I could have said thank you once again for her thoughtfulness towards me. I wish I could have said I love you one last time. Aunt Margo will be deeply missed and memories of her...

Margo was a fine lady and made the best peanut brittle. I tried by could never match her. It won't be the same without her. I was fortunate that Laren and Sue shared Margo with me while in Georgia. She was a true lady in all ways. I will miss her.

Margo was a wonderful and warm person. I had attended conferences with her and was State President of BPW/Vt at the same time she was State President. She will be missed but always loved.

I had the opportunity to visit with Margo at our BPW/USA Conference in Ft Lauderdale in July. She was such a gracious lady and full of fun and life. She will be missed, but I am thankful that I had a chance to meet and get to know her as a fellow state president of BPW.

I knew Margo since 1987. She was a real philanthropist and a great humanitarian in its true sense. She loved to be with people and do her best for them. It is indeed difficult to lose such a fried and a colleague. Margo will be surely missed.

I was so sorry to hear of Margo's untimely death. I was privileged to have recently traveled with Margo to Florida for the BPW national convention. I have been to many other conventions with Margo and I will certainly miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Margo celebrated life! She was a joy to be around and always had a positive attitude. Her spirit and leadership will be missed by many.

I always admired Margo's independent spirit, dedication to her family. I cherish many fun times over the years.Peace and love to her family. Lezlie

Margo was a delight. It's hard to believe she left this earth so soon. She will be greatly missed. Our prayers and thoughts are with all who knew and loved Margo!
