Margaret called me on my birthday many years ago. After many for her identity, she finally fessed up. She invited me and my clerks to lunch with her and Bob. It was a real delight visiting with her and Bob.
Now that she has passed, the world will be missing a wonderful, effervescent lady. We will all miss her and her wonderful smile.

A special and wonderful lady and just as good of an employee. She helped me tremendously in my business. I will always have very special memories and thoughts of Margaret. Tom, Johnnie, and Tommy Hatfield

What a sad day to learn of one of the finest people God put on this earth's passing. The first time I met Margaret was when she hired me at CNA over 30 years ago and we were instantly good friends. My life was truly blessed to have known you. I love you Margaret.

What a wonderful lady you were, dear Margaret Ann. Knowing you since first grade has been both a delight and privilege. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mom was the ultimate caregiver. She would rather serve than be served. Three brothers, two husbands and two sons provided her with ample opportunity to do that which she loved most. In the 49 years I knew her she never lost her patience with, or raised her voice in anger with anyone. Infinite patience, kindness to everyone, and selfless. She will be sorely missed.

My mothers love and caring were only exceeded by her generosity and kindness to others. She truly is and will always be in my heart.

"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. You were truly a remarkable lady that will be missed by all."

Your absence has created a hole that no one else will ever be able to fill. Thank you for being the mom I never had...I feel profoundly blessed to have been a part of your life and for you to have been a part of mine.

Our Wonderful Friendship

July 19, 2012

Our friendship began when I worked as Church Secretary at The Worship Place and Margaret was my right-hand volunteer.   She was always there when I called on her (sometimes at the last minute).  She and Bob would come in with their wonderful smiles and ask "what can we do today?"  I enjoyed when Bob and Margaret would usher at our Sunday mornings services and seeing them would  hold hands during the service would restore my faith in true love.

Once I retired, our relationship only grow stronger.  We would enjoy lunch together (and do some shopping) or just have a casual conversation on the phone.  The funniest thing about our lunches was every time we planned a lunch Bob would ask "can I come?"  Margaret and I would just laugh and say "No Bob, it's for girls only".  Oh how I will miss those lunches.  I loved this lady.

I will keep Bob, Don, Dale and the entire family in my thoughts and prayers.

The Halls

July 19, 2012

I met her in the halls of Scott & White. Mr. & Mrs. Purkey. They were looking for the break room.  They would walk in holding hands and gazing into eachOn several occasions, Miss Margaret would stop by and assist with the teasing of a fellow co-worker, Joe. We'd have a good, brief laugh! I remember once, she wasn't feeling well and my sister and I took her and Mr. Bob into our stress room -to check her vitals and allow her to wait until her doctor's appointment. Oh, the hugs and love we received from both of them! Watching how attentive they were to each other was completely amazing! I think I can honestly say that everyone here (Scott & White) identifies them as the "love birds"! I loved seeing them holding hands, smiling, and gazing! That is priceless! Her smile & love is already missed!

I pray that You (her family and close friends) are comforted in this time of loss. But just think, she is in the Savior's arms -no longer having a care in this world. She is being greeted by so many people that have gone before; walking those streets of gold with the Lord! Take heart that Heaven has gained our ANGEL!  Mr. Purkey, hope to see you back in those halls. We (my sis & I) love you guys! Be blessed!
