Margie Gadd Covington

She was born to the late William Butler and Martha Anglin Gadd on January 4, 1934 in Wildie, KY. Her family moved from Wildie to Prospect, KY and as a young adult she attended a square dance at Lake Louisvilla (developed in the 1920s as a summer resort area) with her brother Earl, where she met her future husband, Coleman.

Margie was sweet, kind, gentle, and caring. She devoted her life to caring for her family above all else. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She attended Ballardsville Baptist Church, where she spent many years volunteering, preparing meals for gatherings and helping with vacation bible school during the summers.

She is preceded in death by her husband of 67 years, Coleman Covington; daughter, Sharon Bayler; son-in-law Mike Bayler; and son, Kevin Covington; along with her parents and her brothers James, Oscar, Cluster, Henry, Marion, Earl, Bill, Russell, and sister Edna.
