Margaret loved to knit cook and have family in for most all Holidays. She was Lee's right hand on all his projects, and then some!

In 2022 while Lee was involved in Margaret's family genealogy, it was discovered that Margaret had a Revolutionary soldier linked to her thru her father's mother Bertha May Harvey. This prompted her to apply for membership in the William Prescott, Newark D.A.R. Chapter. She was inducted into the chapter December, 2022. Also, while tracing her lineage, it was discovered that she was related to the Governor William Bradford (1620) of Plymouth Colony, Plymouth, Mass. She applied for membership to the Society of Mayflower Descendants and was accepted in September, 2022. Receiving certificates for both chapters.

She is survived by a nephew Wayne P. Hudson Sweet several cousins and family friends. Margaret's wishes are that there be no prior calling hours. Goodbye Honey, I love you and miss you! Lee.
