Margaret Waters Todd, beloved mother and grandmother, transitioned to her heavenly home on Friday, September 10, 2021. A lifelong resident of Alabama, Margaret retired from Alabama Power Company and co-founded a successful family business with her husband of 45 years, Thomas Mitchell Todd, Sr. and her son, Thomas Mitchell Todd, Jr.
A woman of devout faith, Margaret was kind, generous and tender-hearted to everyone she met. Always genuine and sincere, she never failed to offer a kind word, a helping hand or a heartfelt condolence when needed. Slow to anger and quick to forgive, Margaret’s light shone brightly, and she will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her.
Margaret was preceded in death by her husband, her parents Truman Waters and Ella Loree Almon Waters and her brother Rex Neal Waters. She is survived by her children, Terry P. Todd of Austin, TX, Tami Todd (Ken Romain) of Northport, AL and Thomas Mitchell “Tommy” Todd, Jr., her grandchildren Robert David Grimes, Christy Miller Campbell, Amanda Todd Bryan (Adam), Thomas M. “Trey” Todd, III (Tiffany) and Hannah Nicole Miller, and a great-grandson, Anthony Blake Campbell.
Regretfully, due to COVID-19 protocols, the family will not receive visitors. A private graveside service is planned for immediate family. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Greater Birmingham Humane Society or the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter.
