Margie Gladson Massey

Margie was born in Culberson, NC (Cherokee County) to the late Homer and Sula Denton Gladson. In 1957, Margie married the love of her life, Frank Massey, beginning an inseparable union that would span nearly seven decades.

Margie lived a life defined by faith, generosity, and quiet service to others. For forty-seven years she built a remarkable career as a distinguished and compassionate realtor in Greensboro.

Beyond her professional success, Margie was a Secular Franciscan for twenty-seven years and a faithful volunteer at St. Francis Springs Prayer Center for two decades where she played a major role in the Center’s fundraising efforts. Margie also coordinated the Franciscan Center’s Scholarship programs for students in El Salvador, offering opportunity and hope to students and families in need.

Margie’s kindness was her hallmark. She was quick to lend a hand to anyone, and her presence brought warm comfort and steadiness to all who knew her. In her spare time, she found joy in gardening and in spending time with her beloved family.

She is survived by her husband, Frank Massey; daughters, Sarah Draughn and Susan Morris; grandchildren, Murray Landstreet, Michelle Landstreet (Hunter Whipple), and Christian Morris; and great-grandchildren Theodore and Naomi.

A visitation is set for Friday, November 14th 4-6pm at Hanes Lineberry (515 N. Elm St. Greensboro) with a short prayer service beginning at 4pm. A Funeral Mass and Inurnment with Rev. Louis J. Canino, OFM as Celebrant will be held at 11:30 am Saturday, November 15th at St. Francis Springs Prayer Center in Stoneville, NC.

Margie’s life was one of selfless love, unwavering faith, and quiet grace- a legacy that will continue to inspire all who were blessed to know her.
