Margaret and her husband Al were pioneers in the Hoover community where they built a home in Hoover in 1964 before the city was formally established in 1967.

Hoover was home for Margaret and therefore she served faithfully many years in the Hoover Service Club.

Margaret loved her home and her community and she had very special neighbors she considered as family who watched out for her and cared for her after her husband passed away.

The family extends special thanks to Margaret’s neighbors, the many care givers at Chateau Vestavia and at Golden Living Riverchase and to Jackie Tate a very special friend and care giver for Margaret.
