A celebration of her life will be held on Sunday, March 20, 2022, at the Barn Dance, 6341 Phillippi Rd., Julian, NC, with the family receiving friends beginning at 2pm, followed by a memorial service at 3pm. At the conclusion of the memorial service, "Margo's Jubilee and Celebration" will be held, featuring Southern Gospel and 50s/60s music--as well as dancing (casual dress).
Survivors include her husband of nearly 58 years, Larry A. Simmons; her daughter and son-in-law, Melody and Brian Smith; her granddaughters, Marinna Smith and Ellie Smith; her sister, Joel S. Cole; her sister-in-law, Gladyne S. Stout; her brother-in-law, Monroe J. McVey; and nieces and nephews and their families: Julie (Larry) Perkins; Marcy (Timmy) Rice; Mike (April) McVey; and William (Loren) Stout.
Also in Heaven with Margo are her parents, Albert E. and Marguerite H. Smith; her father- and mother-in-law, Willie S. and Ophelia A. Simmons; her brothers-in-law, Jesse S. Cole and Jimmy C. Stout; her sister-in-law, Belva J. McVey; and her nieces, Jodie C. Laster and Jennifer L. Stout.
Margo's musical talent shined throughout her life. She loved her church, Mt. Pleasant UMC, which she had belonged to her entire life, and she spent many years there directing the Youth Choir and directing a church fundraiser, a Hee Haw-style musical show. She also owned Margo's Studio of Dance for 24 years. In addition, her passion for music was witnessed when she and Larry ran the Liberty Jubilee Theater. Children held a special place in her heart, as observed through her volunteering and working at Liberty Elementary for many years in the classroom and as the YMCA Afterschool Director at Nathanael Greene Elementary for over a decade.
The family would like to express their appreciation for your love and support throughout Margo's illness.
At the family's request, in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to: Mt. Pleasant UMC, 4400 Alamance Church Rd. Liberty, NC 27298 or Community Home Care and Hospice, 533 S. Fayetteville St. Asheboro, NC 27203.
