She was born on April 6, 1934 in Fayetteville, North Carolina and married Thurston Clemmons Jr. of Myrtle Beach on June 5, 1955. Their first home was in Columbia, South Carolina for the completion of Tut's university studies. They were blessed with two sons while in Columbia, Bradford L. Clemmons and Danford G. Clemmons. Margaret loved being a wife and mother as well as an Air Force wife! She traveled the world with Tut and her boys, and they were blessed with a third son while stationed in Japan, Thomas G. Clemmons.
Margaret loved to volunteer in local schools, libraries, and other civic organizations. She was also active in the Red Cross and a number of churches and chapels in the military and after Tut retired from the Air Force. In Bolivia, she was active in the Bolivia Baptist Church and Faith Baptist Church as a children’s Sunday school teacher and church librarian. She later became librarian for the Brunswick Baptist Association, helping establish libraries throughout the county. Margaret was known as a godly woman and prayer warrior who helped as many people (and animals) as she could. Her Christ-like love has born much fruit in the lives of her family, friends, and neighbors.
Margaret is survived by her husband of 64 years, Thurston Clemmons Jr.; her son, Brad and his wife Sandra, her son Dan, and her son Tom and his wife Melissa; five grandchildren, Bradford Lock Clemmons Jr., Heather Elizabeth Konovalov (Nicholas), Zachary Thomas Clemmons (Erin), Will Cooper Clemmons, Jonathan Edward Clemmons; and three great-grandchildren, Nicholas Konovalov Jr, Eleanor Margaret Clemmons, and Ames Thomas Clemmons.
She was preceded in death by her beautiful sister, Mary Rose Cooper Bell and her husband Graham Bell, her father, Sylvester Rose Cooper, and her mother, Mary Penelope Honeycutt Cooper.

Interment will be at the Forest Lawn Cemetery, located about 1 mile north of Faith Baptist Church off Highway 17.
