Margaret, a Master Gardener and lover of unique plants, cultivated her Mississippi estate with thousands of specimen plants, now the lucky property of a very special family. Her travels included stints living abroad in Japan and Okinawa. Among her accomplishments were acquiring a bachelor’s degree at age 50, trap shooting trophies, the ability to converse in Japanese, and cultivating thousands of plants in her own gardens and for friends and fellow Master Gardeners across the State of Mississippi.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Mildred L. (Savell) and Herbert E. Hobbs from Terry, Mississippi, husband, Otho Eugene (Gene) Barron from Utica, Mississippi, and brother Charles E. Hobbs from Vancouver, British Columbia. Surviving is her son, Mark E. Barron, his wife Cynthia and granddaughter Cassie from the Chicago, Illinois area; her daughter, Regina Barron Meehan and grandson Rory Meehan from the Greenville, South Carolina area; and numerous cherished descendants from the Savell and Hobbs families across the country and in and around Terry, Mississippi.
