Margaret would have celebrated her 93rd birthday in June of this year and her life was marked by love and compassion for all. She was a dedicated wife and mother who always placed her family's needs ahead of her own. Margaret enjoyed gardening and cooking, and her family always looked forward to her large, delicious meals on special occasions.

In her later years, Margaret's pride and joy were her seven grandchildren. She had six grandsons, Justin, Jason, Stephen, Jordan, David and Jack, and one granddaughter, Mary Kathryn. In addition to her children and grandchildren, she is survived by one sister, Edna Biggers of Midland.

Margaret was a lifelong member of Pine Bluff United Methodist Church in Midland.

The family would like to thank Hospice and the staff at Unlimited Possibilities for their compassionate care.
