Margaret Kinkead Obituary

Margaret Kinkead

October 9, 1932 - December 3, 2024

Derby, Kansas - 92- passed away Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024. She was born October 9th, 1932 to Theadore Juengling and Sadie Browning in Emporia, Kansas.

Margaret and Byron made their home in Derby, Kansas, in 1955, as one of the first families on their block. They cherished their retirement years as Snowbirds in Texas, traveling across the United States and fulfilling their lifelong dream of exploration. Their passion for travel became a gift they passed down to their family, inspiring wanderlust through countless stories of their adventures.

Margaret remained in their cherished family home until December 2023, when she transitioned to senior living. She filled her days with family, community service, her faith and work at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, and adventures with her close-knit group of friends, affectionately known as "The Fruitcakes."

Margaret will be remembered as the gentle rock of the Kinkead family, a source of strength, kindness, and love. Those who knew her, or were touched by her warmth and grace, strive to honor her spirit in their own lives.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Byron Kinkead
