It was always a pleasure to be with Margaret and Zeke in a quarterly Care Group along with other church members that was
sponsored by the Windsor United Methodist Church in Columbia.
As a couple, they were always so pleasant and smiling.

For the past 21 years Margaret and Zeke were absolutely wonderful neighbors. She was always pleasant had a beautiful smile. She served as the caregiver of neighbors when they faced illness or death and brought us together to minister with kind words of condolences as well as refreshments. She was a servant to many and ministered with grace and dignity. Our deepest condolences to the family. Terry, Kevin, Kristian and Laura
