e couple made Cumberland their home and enjoyed their retirement.
Faith was very important to her and she was a member of the Cumberland United Methodist Church, where she dearly loved attending and served as treasurer. The gift of hospitality was evident in almost everything Margaret did. She was continuously inviting friends and even strangers into their home to share her homemade cooking and tasty baked goods. She was never happier than when visiting and being with others. A stranger never exited her home. Rather they often became valued friends and kept in touch for years after. If her guests happened to be card players, the evening generally was completed by a lively game of Pinochle or similar entertainment.
Margarets great gift of writing, inherited from her mother, maintained many relationships for decades. Throughout her life Margaret loved to go to the mailbox to find responses to her letters. Without question her quilted masterpieces shall be cherished treasures to her family. With the help of her next-door neighbor, many beds have been adorned with exceptional creativity and skill.
