Margret Ann Atnip, 92, of Springfield, Missouri, passed away peacefully at home on June 22, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.
Born on October 16, 1932, in Piedmont, Missouri, Margret was the daughter of Alfred and Freida (McAllister) Landing. She was a devoted wife to the late William "Bill" Henry Atnip, with whom she shared 67 wonderful years of marriage.
