Traveling across the USA, the children got to see Many State Parks and had Many, Many Memorable Ventures, staying at various campgrounds and state parks.

Besides the most important one being a mother, she also had various jobs. one as a cook on a tug boat on the Mississippi river, Now that took a tough woman.Even though she did not have much to give, she always managed to give her time not only to her Church but she volunteered going on various Mission trips, Building Houses For Habitat For Humanity, and doing whatever she could do around the Church.She had and interesting and Tough life to say the leastAfter suffering a stroke, having various surgeries, and health crisis..She thrived in the Retirement home for many years with Love and Constant Care From Robin, Albert, and from Frequent visitations from various family members and friends.she enjoyed laughter and singing the Gospels Especially her favorite.Amazing Grace.For all the Ups and DownsGood and the BadLaughter and Sorrows..Margaret was the Best Mother she knew how to Be.She Is Loved and Will Be Missed..At Margaret passing, she was one of the oldest living Members of the Lee Joyner Methodist Church.
