Margaret Dunn Duke

A memorial service will be held at Floral Hills Funeral Home, Tucker, Georgia on Friday, March 24, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. A reception will immediately follow the service.

Margaret was born in Birmingham, Alabama on July 17, 1928 to Guy and Lynn Dunn.

She is preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Joseph Earl Duke, her son Kevin Duke, grandson Adam Duke, and sister June Carol Waldon. She is survived by her daughter Debbie Lee; son Mark Duke; daughter-in-law Alva Duke; daughter-in-law Debi Duke; grandchildren: Erin Lee Han, Lauren Lee Espinosa, Ryan Duke Hester, Jamie Duke Steiner, Inga Duke Casha, and Joseph Duke; and 20 great-grandchildren.

Margaret, Earl and their three young children moved to the Atlanta area in 1956. Margaret was a strong Christian. Both she and her husband instilled in their family the importance of knowing that we are all children of God and that we should treat everyone as an equal.

Margaret was a beautiful and talented lady. She was an artist, a decorator and designer, and an amazing seamstress. Margaret was a business owner of antique shops for many years. She was also active with many charities and organizations during her life.

Margaret’s main focus was always her family. She was involved in the activities of her children from sporting events to dance recitals. She didn’t slow down until her she was in her 90’s. Margaret was still decorating homes, painting furniture, making costumes for her great-grandchildren, and spreading her love and kindness to everyone that knew her. She was friend to all and was greatly loved. We will miss her forever.

Our family was blessed to have found a wonderful care home, Senior Home Mission, in Lawrenceville, Georgia where she was taken great care of in the last year of her life. We as a family are very grateful for Agape Hospice and Senior Home Mission for their love and support of Margaret.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Senior Home Mission, 1976 Jester Circle, Lawrenceville, Georgia 30043.
