Margaret returned to live with her daughter Mary in Frankfort in 2004, where she resided until her passing the evening of July 9, 2022. Margaret was an active member of the First United Methodist Church in Frankfort. She enjoyed quilting, crocheting, baking and traveling. To scores of friends throughout the years and spanning the United States and Canada, she was known for keeping in touch and remembering birthdays and special occasions. Margaret, affectionately known by many as "Momma," had an intelligent wit, an endearing personality and a smile to light up any day. She was kind, unassuming and gracious to everyone. She will be sorely missed and is dearly loved. Visitation will be at Rogers Funeral Home in Frankfort on Friday, July 15th from 4:00 to 6:00 pm, with a service following at 6:00 pm.
