Margaret Brown Redus

Margaret B. Redus, 94, of Houston, Texas, passed away peacefully on October 23, 2025. Born on November 21, 1930, in San Antonio, Texas, to Roy and Rose Brown, Margaret lived a long, full, and loving life marked by kindness, strength, and devotion to family.

She was the beloved wife of Joseph Redus, with whom she shared 47 wonderful years of marriage after they wed on May 1, 1950. Together, they built a life filled with laughter, love, and cherished memories.

Margaret is survived by her daughter Missy Bauman and husband James; grandchildren Jonathan Sullivan and wife Jennifer, Barry Sullivan, and Jassy Bauman; and great-grandchildren Kaylee Belle Sullivan and her husband Nick Green, Isabelle Sullivan, Brayden Sullivan, and great-great-granddaughter Harmony Green. She also leaves behind her nephews Mark Brown and his wife Cheryl and Mike Brown and his wife Marilyn, who held a special place in her heart.

She was preceded in death by her loving parents, Roy and Rose Brown; her husband, Joseph; siblings Robert and Eileen; and grandson Timothy Sullivan.

Margaret dedicated many years to Advanced Office Systems in Houston, Texas, where she worked until the remarkable age of 85. Her colleagues fondly remember her as dependable, hardworking, and always full of spirit.

Those who knew Margaret will remember her as a woman of immense strength and selflessness. She never sought attention for herself, always putting others first. Her compassion, humor, and grace touched everyone around her.

“Please remember that I loved each and every one of you – and thank you for loving me.”

“What a Ride”

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways – chardonnay in one hand, chocolate in the other – body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming:

“WOO HOO, what a ride!”
