Margaret was a kind and generous soul who always put others' needs before her own. She was the heart and soul of her family, the one who held us all together with her boundless love and support. She dedicated her life to her family and friends. She was always available when anyone needed a listening ear or a big warm hug. She was a longtime faithful member of Crossgates Baptist church. You could always spot Margaret on the front row of the choir joyfully praising her Lord & Savior!! She loved her church family and was active in various ministries throughout the church and community. Margaret was an avid reader, loved to cook and she always looked forward to her Domino game nights. She will be greatly missed by her family and everyone who was blessed to have known her.
