Aunt Margaret was an amazing woman, with a joyful outlook on life. She used to call me to find out about the family and to share news of her family. She never hung up the phone without telling me a joke to leave me laughing. That’s the way I’m going to remember her, with a smile. She was a great lady.

Catherine and, family, sorry for our loss. Years ago, Mrs. Ella substituted for the LPN Program when I was a student. That’s when Mrs. Ella informed me that she and my grandma, Trolie Harrington Outlaw, were cousins. I have seen your posts, Catherine, of Aunt Margaret, and wondered, why do I know this woman’s face so well? RIP Margaret.
