Margie Nell Williams

caring for her husband and son, and delighted in spending time with her grandchildren, siblings,

nieces and nephews and her dear friends, old and new. She loved to be around people and was very

social. Throughout her life she was very active in her local United Methodist Church, her Sunday

School class, and the United Methodist Women. She was also an active member of Beta Sigma Phi

International, a non-collegiate Sorority. For several years, Margie worked in the Banking and Savings

& Loan Industries, working her way from Secretary to Executive Secretary and moving into Customer

Service, ultimately retiring as an Assistant Vice President-Customer Accounts with Surety Saving

Association in El Paso, Texas.

Margie was born on August 18, 1928 in Hamlin, Texas, the youngest child of Clingman David Hudson

and Myrtle Peel Hudson. During Margie’s childhood, the family moved to Coleman, Texas, where she

graduated from Coleman High School, Class of 1945. She was a drum major and played in the

school orchestra. She was an exceptionally fast typist and preferred to type rather than hand write her

letters, notes and recipes.

On November 6, 1949, Margie married her high school classmate, Charles E. Williams, at the First

Methodist Church in Coleman, Texas. Charles passed away in 2012, just a month shy of their 63rd

wedding anniversary.

Margie enjoyed entertaining, eating out at a favorite restaurant, playing cards or dominoes with

friends, working puzzles or creating games to play with her grandchildren. She loved being at the lake

and was an avid water skier in her younger days. She especially enjoyed musicals with great dance

routines. She would have been the quintessential 1950’s housewife, except she worked for most of

her adult life. She was the Career/Working Mother role model to many that knew her.

Margie was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and all her siblings - brother, C.D. “Hoot”

Hudson, Jr., and sisters, Oswald “Ozzie” Harlow, Hannah Browning and Ida DeRan. She is survived

by her son, Michael Joe (Evelyn) of Lewisville, Texas, grandchildren Kelly (Joe) Carpenter of Rowlett,

Texas, Alex (Emma) Williams of Aubrey Texas, and two great-grandchildren, Henry Williams and

Asher Carpenter. As well as nieces, nephews, other family and friends.

Her memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. at the First United

Methodist Church in Lewisville, Texas. Interment will be on May 4, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at Elmwood

Memorial Park in Abilene, Texas.
