Margaret and I worked together for several years at Piece Goods in Collinsville. In that time, I came to call her a close friend and a woman of strong faith and integrity. Deeply devoted to all her family, Margaret spoke frequently of Wayne, their children and grandchildren with great affection. May God bless you all in this time of sorrow. Teena Haynes

What a precious woman, I will miss her sweet spirit. To be absent from earth is to be present with the Lord. She holds a special place in my heart. She recently gave me a gift, a precious teacup bird feeder that I will always cherish.
Love & miss her, Rhonda/Novant Health Oncology Specialist Eden
