She is also survived by her granddaughter, Margaret "Sunny" deButts Morris and her husband, Jesus. Sunny and her "Nonnie" shared the same birthday. Marge and Johnny moved to Bedford, Virginia in 1947, and raised their three children on Westview Avenue alongside the Scott, Thomasson, Ford, Dunlap, Berry, Owen, Tharp, Stephenson, Davidson, and Kyle families.
