Margaret was a mother and homemaker for many years, but was very proud of the years she worked as an operator at Southern Bell Telephone Company before starting her family. She was a long time member of Purcell United Methodist Church, and enjoyed being active in the Rachel Circle and Sunday School class, was a Communion Steward, and participated in many other UMW activities. She was known for making iced tea for all church dinners and events.
Margaret loved her home and loved to work in her yard and secret flower garden. She had many other hobbies including sewing, cross stitch, crocheting scarves and baby blankets and crossword puzzles.
The family would like to thank Margaret’s caregivers at Radbourne Manor for their loving care over the last three years. It became a second home for all of us during that time. We would like to thank the volunteers and families of the other residents who shared their time and talents with our mother.
We would also like to thank Novant Hospice and Palliative Care for their care and support during the last few months.
Funeral services are planned for 2:00 PM on Wednesday, January 13th at Forest Lawn West Paul Helton Chapel at 4601 Freedom Drive, Charlotte, NC 28208. Rev. Gerald Ramsey will officiate at the service. The family will receive visitors for one hour before the service.
Contributions in Margaret’s memory may be made to Purcell United Methodist Church, 2141 Weyland Ave., Charlotte, NC 28208 or Radbourne Manor, 3505 Oriole Place, Charlotte, NC 28269.
