Margaret "Margie" Casanova

Margie was born in San Antonio, Texas on September 6, 1934. She had fond memories of living on a ranch as a newlywed as well as her many travels later in life. She loved angels, which is fitting because she was a true angel to her family and friends. She had a loving, caring, and generous nature. She was a devoted sister, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was very proud of her families' accomplishments and she loved to brag about them. She worked hard to provide opportunities for her family. With little education, she worked as a supervisor in an insurance company. Later, she was a successful flooring business owner and well respected in the community. She never met a stranger. She will be truly missed by all.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ernest Casanova and Mary Margaret Turner Maldonado; her brothers, Ernest Casanova and Charles "Charlie" Maldonado (Linda); her sister Mary Agnes Maldonado Thomas (Ray); and great-granddaughter, Patience Alderman.
