Nellie Margaret Treece, 85, of Albemarle, passed away Wednesday, August 21, 2024 at Forrest Oakes Healthcare Center in Albemarle.

Margaret was born May 13, 1939 in North Carolina to the late William Robert Plummer and the late Josephine Simmons Plummer.

Margaret was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Some of her favorite pastimes were spent tending to her garden, going to auction sales, playing bingo, quilting, and listening to blue-grass gospel. But her most cherished memories were all the times she got to be with her family and her husband Luther to whom she has been married to for 63 years. Margaret was of the Baptist faith and loved the Lord with all her heart. She had a heart of gold will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
