Margie Cotten passed away on June 3, 2017 in Houston, Texas. She was born on September 16, 1930 in Hobbs, New Mexico to Tom and Marie Williams. Margie is survived by her husband Kimsey Cotten of 64 years; son Robert Cotten; daughter-in-law, Dina Cotten of Meadows Place; granddaughters, Kim Mican of Fulshear and Michelle Kovar of Cypress; great-grand sons, Jacob Mican of Fulshear and Logan Kovar of Cypress; and many family and friends.
Margie was proceeded in death by her parents, Tom and Marie Williams; her two brothers Charles Williams and Tommy Williams.
Margie was baptized as a Jehovah’s Witness in 1943 and firmly believed according to Bible prophecy that Jehovah God’s Kingdom would someday bring an end to all of the world governments with all of the corruption and war and replace them with a theocratic government. (Daniel 2:44)(Matthew 6:9-14)(2 Peter 3: 13) Margie also believed that Jehovah God will bring end to suffering and death according to 1 Corinthians 15:28 and Revelation 21:4 and there will be a resurrection back to life here on earth as Jesus demonstrated with Lazarus at John 11:11-44.
Margie loved to spend time with her family and regularly went on family vacations. She was an expert seamstress and often made her own clothes. Making all kinds of deserts was something she loved to do and her pecan pie was a favorite request within our family.
Margie was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in September 2011 which came as a big surprise to her family and her friends because she was able to hide the symptoms quite well for about 10 months before she was overwhelmed with the disease. Thinking back before her condition worsened we remember activities and responses that were symptoms that we should have picked up on. For example: Margie normally loved to make deserts and she was a master at making pecan pies. When she was invited to a family dinner she asked if she could bring anything and we requested her pecan pie, she replied “I don’t know if I can remember how to make one”. We thought that was a strange reply but we didn’t pursue it. Often she would have difficulty with conversation and would forget what she wanted to say and look to her devoted husband to help her remember what she was trying to say. There are many symptoms but families need to take notice and try to get their love ones diagnosed before it’s too late for them to understand what is happening. Margie never really understood what was happening and never got to say her farewells because her condition was too far advanced and she could not comprehend what was happening.
In lieu of sending flowers we would prefer donations be sent to the Alzheimers Association at www.alz.org .
A memorial service will take place on Thursday, June 8, 2017 at 10:00 am in the Chapel of Earthman Southwest Funeral Home.
