Marguerite was a baptized member of the United Methodist Church . She was a fan of soap operas and the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Marguerite lived for holidays and being surrounded by her family.  Holiday meal planning, even at Thanksgiving, would always lead her to ask what the family was going to have to eat.  Cooking and love for her family went hand-in-hand, as Marguerite would prepare everyone’s favorites for their birthdays and special occasions.  Her specialties were lasagna and chicken and noodles.  Marguerite was also very good at reading people, particularly those who came in contact with her children and grandchildren.  Her family meant everything to Marguerite.  She genuinely loved being a mom, gram, and memaw, and she treasured time spent with her great-grandchildren.  Marguerite’s family will dearly miss her and as much as they loved her, they can still hear her saying to them, “Love you more.”
