Ms. Margaret will be sorely missed; known for her cakes and pies. She loved to bake and always willing to brighten your day with a slice of her pineapple, coconut, chocolate or pound cake. And if you were really good, you might get a red velvet or German chocolate cake. We will truly miss her, not only for her culinary skills, but mostly for her unconditioned love. The joy she received knowing she could help somebody, was who she was. She loved people. She was a God fearing woman, mother, sister, auntie, grandmother, great grandmother, friend and widow.
