Margaret Charlotte McKay
(Margie)
9/19/1949 - 8/24/2010

Margie went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on August 24, 2010.
She was born on September 19, 1949 in Friedberg, Germany to Warren and Liselotte Schroeter Keddy. Margie enjoyed traveling and gardening. She was a past president of the Meadow Vista Gardening Club.
She is survived by her loving husband of 41+ years, Pete McKay, daughter, Jennifer Willis, her husband Matt, and grandchildren Samantha and Matthew Willis. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
There will be a family memorial for Margie, followed by her being laid to rest at the Sacremento Valley V.A. Cemetery.
We would like to personally thank the staff at Colonial Health Care in Auburn for taking loving care of Margie during her extended battle with early onset Alzheimer's disease. Thank you all.

Dear Pete,
I am so sorry to hear of Margie's passing. She was such a sweet and kind woman, but with just enough sass to make her fun and interesting! I will never forget you two in that little red convertible, pulling in to visit Colleen and I at our office in Meadow Vista once in awhile. You two were always such a blast and the love between you was obvious and palpable. My sympathies to you and your daughter and her family. Love, Maureen

The members of the Meadow Vista Garden club were saddened to hear of Margie's passing. She rejoined us a few years back and we enjoyed her company at our 50th Anniversary and on the wildflower walk up the Yuba River at Bridgeport.

Margie always had a smile on her face when we would pass. She was a delight. The Lord gave her to your family for a season and her next season of life is eternal. I pray that you sense the Lord's comfort in this time as He is always faithful to take care of us....either here or There. Blessings and Peace to you all.

Pete & Family,
There are no human words that can truly comfort you at this time. Just know we are thinking of you and pray that Margie lives eternally with our Savior, Jesus Christ. The only comfort is knowing that we will, in deed, meet her again in Heaven.

A dear friend who will be missed in my heart. My first friend in Mission Viejo California when moving there from Iowa in 1979. Margie had fabric spread out with a pattern on it for Jennifer. We became friends over coffee that day and shared many good times together. Our love to you, Pete, Jennifer and your families. Karen & Ron Heineman

Pete and Family, The Joy and Happiness Margie brought into the lives of others will never be forgotten! Allen and I will never forget the day we prayed for her back in July.... An angel appeared in the room and His very presence was felt so lovingly. We rejoice that Margie is now with her Jesus dancing on streets of gold. May the Lord always be your hope and your song and may each new day be perfectly directed by His hand. You are all in our thoughts and Prayers. People of Prophetic Power Ministries~

Dear Pete and Jennifer,
I will be forever enriched for having the honor of supporting the two of you in the journey of dementia care. I was given the opportunity to walk with Margie and learn directly from her how we could help her to feel safe, loved and secure. I so admire the both of you, as I observed you handle a challenging and painful situation with grace and compassion. You both loved Margie with all of your hearts, and I know she knew that as she drifted further and further from us. And she knows your love now.
Thank you for the opportunity to know you all, I am richly blessed by your friendship.
Much love, Laura Wayman

Pete- Come meet my grandchildren someday. Joe

"Brother Pete"- We all live in a world where latter-day "Pharisees" of every stripe have twisted and abused the sacred message of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Nevertheless, we can take heart and courage in the knowledge that Christ lives and has atoned for our errant ways such that by accepting His glorious Sacrifice in our behalf we are able to return to our Heavenly Home to enjoy the eternal association of our loved ones, especially those like dear Margie whose spirit rejoiced in His love. Her loss for now is great but His sure promise is the greatest of all. With love, Joe McKay

Pete,
You were truly blessed to have such a precious loving and caring wife as Margie.
Margie had such great love for her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and because of that close relationship, she was able to show much love to others in so many ways.
Margie now has peace and is at rest in the loving arms of Jesus. She truly is happy again waiting for you until that day.
May God richley bless you, Jennifer, Matt and the kids and may He pour out His peace upon you all in your time of mourning.
We love you Pete.
Bill, Jennifer, Alex and Brittney Henry

Dear Pete,
Just a note to tell you how much we love you, and how much we will miss Margie, We miss the phone calls and Margie giving all those great comments in the background. I will miss her voice as it was so distinctive and what a great sense of humor she had. Of course that was a big plus as she had to put up with you Pete...ha ha. I am excited for where she will spend eternity as she gets to be with our Lord and Messiah. We will keep you lifted up in prayer Pete and know that Steve and I are always here for you. All our love and all Yahweh's blessings upon you and your family.
Evelyn and Steve Heimbichner

Pete, even though I have only known you for a short time, I have felt a special bond of friendship with you and feel sorrow for your loss of Margie. Losing such a devoted partner after so many years has to be difficult and I wish you the best. Take care buddy.

Dear Pete and Family,

My heart is so saddened for the loss of your precious wife and mom.

Margie was a blessing to me and encouraged me many times with her joy and smile. She will be missed!

I rejoice today because she is now glorified in her new heavenly body and she is communing with Jesus personally who is holding her and rejoicing over her.

Our prayers are with you and we love you. Someday, we will all be together again in perfect love and fellowship.

God bless and keep you~
