Margaret was born March 6, 1943 to Claude Lenderman and Rachel Frances (Taylor) Lenderman. She married Billy Ray Hardin September 6, 1958.

She is also survived by brother-in-law, Aubrey Hardin; and sisters-in-law, Jane Hardin and Elaine Hardin; also by many nieces and nephews who fondly said she was their “favorite aunt”. She is preceded in death by her husband, Billy Ray Hardin; her parents, Claude and Rachel Frances Lenderman; two sisters and five brothers. Services for Margaret will be held on Wednesday, October 28, 2020 at 11:00 A.M. at First Baptist Church of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico with Pastor Dudley Bristow officiating.

We will never forget the day Bill and Margaret knocked on our door announcing they were just married. We were married the day before. This was the beginning of beautiful memories together all these years! They were precious family and friends. We loved them dearly.
