Margaret Marie Ferguson

Margaret Marie (Leatherwood) Ferguson went to be with her Lord on October 8, 2022. She was born in Edna, Texas on March 13, 1926. Margaret met the love of her life, Bill, in Galena Park at Middleton's grocery store where he worked as a butcher after serving in the US Army during WW II. After their wedding in 1947, they made Galena Park their home. Shortly after Bill's death in 2016, they would have celebrated their 69th anniversary.
Margaret lived her life as a wonderful, Christian example, like the woman of noble character in Proverbs 31. She humbly served her family and put others first. Her most notable attribute was that of hospitality. Many, if not all, of those who will celebrate her life have spent time in her home, enjoying her gift of cooking. Preachers, pregnant teenagers, missionaries, single dads and more found blessing in her open invitation. Many 2nd graders sat at her feet in Bible Class. The finest of clothing, upholstery or window treatment was yours if Margaret was at the sewing machine! But don't touch her scissors!
Margaret and Bill served at the Galena Park Church of Christ until moving in 1976 to the Channelview area where they served at the Church of Christ there for another 35 years. In 2011, they moved to Montgomery to live near their daughters for their final years, worshiping at the Conroe Church of Christ.
Margaret was preceded in death by her husband William (Bill) Ferguson and her son Bill Ferguson, Jr. She is survived by her daughters, Sandra Jones of Madison, AL and Trena Benson and husband, Randy, of Montgomery, TX. She was the loving "Memaw" to seven grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
