Margaret was born on August 21, 1934 and was the daughter of the late Arnold and Nelda Snodgrass. She grew up and spent much of her life on the Middle Fork of Davis Creek. She was raised as a Nazarene and continued in that religious faith during her life. She visited family there often sharing stories of their childhood lives.
Margaret was one of two siblings born to Arnold and Nelda Snodgrass. Her sister Mary Ruth (Snodgrass) Allen of South Boston, VA survives her.
Margaret married Thomas (Tommy) Nelson Watts on November 7th, 1952. They were married sixty-six years. Her husband predeceased her December 14th, 2007. She was the mother of four children. They are Diane Elizabeth (Watts) Owen, (Jim), Thomas Barry Watts (predeceased August 30, 2003) Matt Arden Watts (Sue) and Edith Renae (Watts) Cutlip. She was also blessed with three grandchildren Laura, Bryan and Shannon.
Maggie enjoyed spending time with family and friends. She was a graduate of Charleston High School, and Garnet Career Center with a degree in Business. She was a member of the South Charleston Recreation Center, where she enjoyed line dancing and swimming along with her many great friends. Maggie was an avid Gardner, and cultured the most beautiful flowers. She was a talented seamstress. She worked most of her adult life as a cleaning manager for various residential homes. She was extremely talented in so many areas, to many to acknowledge.
Her constant companion and caretaker was her daughter Edith (Edie) where they traveled the back roads of West Virginia and ventured to other states to visit family. They enjoyed finding new places to dine, new people to meet, and scheming of more adventures to conquer. They enjoyed life and were ready for the next “great escapade”. She loved and was also loved by her animal companions, Tigger, Chester and Katy Did.
