She was a faithful member of Westfield Creek Baptist Church. Margie's presence at the church was a true blessing, as she actively participated in various ministries such as the Shut-in and Nursing Home ministries, the social committee, and willingly volunteered at the annual Vacation Bible School. She held a special place within the Senior Saints group and will be dearly missed for her unwavering faith and dedication to prayer.
- Margie also found joy in activities such as going to the gym with her coordinated attire, occasionally indulging in shopping excursions, tending to her flowers, engaging in crafting projects, and immersing herself in reading. Her selflessness knew no bounds as she consistently prioritized her family above all else, displaying a profound and deep love for them throughout her life.
- In her later years, Margie enjoyed connecting with friends through Facebook, where she shared words of encouragement and uplifting scriptures. She also enjoyed working word search puzzles. Her impact on those around her was marked by a genuine concern for others and a steadfast dedication to serving her Lord, her family, and her neighbors.
