Margaret E. Brady, 100, of Redding, California, passed away peacefully of natural old age on August 16, 2025, surrounded by those who loved her. Born on March 1, 1925, in Tarunza, Arkansas, Margaret's one hundred years of life were marked by devotion to her faith, steadfast love for her family, and a caring spirit that touched all who knew her.

Margaret was the beloved wife of the late Jack Brady and a devoted mother to her sons Harlen Dewayne Sheeks and Eddie L. Sheeks. She was preceded in death by her cherished son, Sidney D. Sheeks. she leaves behind all of her Grand Children and Great grandchildren and all of her beloved friends.   Throughout her life, Margaret fulfilled her Great Grandmother’s fond prediction that she would live to be 100—a milestone she was deeply grateful to achieve.

A proud member of the Ladies Elks Club in Eureka, CA, from 1975 to 1988, Margaret was an active participant in her community. She was especially known for her dedication as a care provider for the elderly, a vocation she lovingly pursued for 25 years. Friends and family alike recall Margaret's unwavering faith—her greatest joy was listening to Billy Graham and gospel music, filling her home with hymns and hope.

Dancing brought her happiness, laughter, and friendship, and she cherished every moment spent with loved ones. Most notably, Margaret was "just a good all around person," whose kindness, hard work, and uplifting presence left an indelible mark on all who knew her.

A service to honor Margaret’s remarkable life will be held at Dignity Memorial in Redding, CA, on September 2, 2025. Family and friends are warmly invited to attend.

Margaret’s favorite poem was “Footprints in the Sand,” reflecting her enduring faith and belief that we are never alone. She lived her life as a testament to love, resilience, and compassion, and she will be deeply missed.
