She was a devout Christian lady and a member of Pomona Church of Christ, where she enjoyed mentoring and teaching a young ladies class on Wednesday night. She attended the old Dickson High School and played high school basketball as a lady Dragon. She always enjoyed being an athletic person. She loved her family very much, as she was a loving, happy, passionate lady with a little bit of fiest. Margie was a true southern cook and baker, who thoroughly enjoyed cooking for others.

She was a collegiate sports fan which included a love of basketball, football, softball and baseball with UT Vols being her favorite. The Atlanta Braves was her favorite major league team. The Tennessee Titans was her favorite NFL team. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
