She had a passion for water aerobics, reading, ferns and long walks in the woods with Weldon. She was a phenomenal cook making gourmet meals was relaxing to her. Her totem animal was the pelican and she collected statues of them. She tended to compliment specific things about people and things taking the time to really look at pictures or something you’d share with her and talk about everything she noticed.

A Celebration of her Life will be held on Sunday April 30, 2023 at 6:00 pm at 1150 Haw Branch Road, Beulaville with a buffet meal immediately following the service.
Marguerite was a playful happy one. She loved to giggle and have fun teasing whenever she could, once she got beyond her shyness. She always stopped to watch a Harley drive by. She was known for wearing blue and was known for her high heels! She was very loving and caring and would do anything for those she loved.
She will be forever missed by all who were blessed to love and know her.

I loved working out with Marguerite in the water aerobic classes. She was always fun and upbeat and we would laugh constantly. We never realized her pain because she never showed it. I missed her when she left. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
