Margaret Ann Barcus-Crapser, passed away on September 16, 2025, in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. Born on February 7, 1952, she was the cherished daughter of the late Hornung family, growing up in the vibrant community of Louisville.

Margaret was a beacon of love and kindness, known for her warmth and generosity. She had an extraordinary ability to make everyone she met feel like family, a testament to her caring nature. Her life was one dedicated to nurturing those around her.

A devoted mother, Margaret poured her heart into her daughters, Tonya Williams (Ray), Pam Browning (Roger), and Lisa Behymer (Link). She also leaves behind to cherish her memory her mother, Frieda Mazzuchelli; sisters, Martha Rowley and Darlene Jones (Dennis); brothers, Billy Hornung and Mark Hornung. She was immensely proud of her family, fostering deep connections with her children and their future generations. The legacy of love she created continues to flourish with her grandchildren, Briana, Kayla, Justin, Courtney, Amber, Danielle, Scotty, Austin, Chris, Zach, Tritton, Markell, Tim, and Marissa; and 15 great-grandchildren. Each of them carries a piece of her generous spirit and nurturing heart.

She now joins her beloved husband, William Crapser, who precedes her in death.

Margaret's personality shone through in everything she did. She had a passion for helping others, often putting their needs before her own. Whether it was caring for her family, assisting her neighbors, or tending to her beloved animals, she truly embodied selflessness. Known for her adventurous spirit, she enjoyed getting her commodities and would never hesitate to lend a helping hand. She was the type of person who would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it.
