Margaret grew up in El Paso Texas and graduated from Austin High School and the University of Arizona with a BA in Education. She was a proud member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and participated in local functions for many years. She was a longtime active member of Western Hills United Methodist Church and never missed an opportunity to help a friend in need. Margaret’s life was an example of selflessness, strength, humility and love for her family and friends. She was a wonderful role model for living The Golden Rule.

Margaret loved being with her grandchildren and always looked forward to the next family vacation and holiday together. She was an avid bird watcher and had many “pet” turtles that would greet her at the door every morning begging for food.

A special thank you to her caregivers: Donna Oliver, Corina Villalobos, Rachel Villalobos, Erica Minjares and to Loving Home - Teresa and Pedro Valverde & staff. Thank you collectively for all your compassionate care.

Memorial contributions can be made in her memory to Western Hills United Methodist Church, 524 Thunderbird, El Paso Texas 79912.

A private burial will be held at Memory Gardens of the Valley on a later date.
