Margaret Secord

born on October 19, 1926 in Twin Falls, Idaho, to Carl and Nell Wrigley.

As a teenager, Marge’s family relocated to San Antonio, Texas, where she attended St.

Mary’s Catholic School. It was in San Antonio that she met Foster T. Secord, a young

airman stationed at Lackland Air Force Base. The two married on January 31, 1951,

beginning a life of love, service and adventure together.

Marge and Foster’s life in the military took them across the United States and around the

world, including several memorable years in Japan and Morocco. Along the way, they

welcomed two sons, John and Troy, who brought them immense pride, joy and

restlessness.

After years of service, both Marge and Foster retired at Sheppard Air Force Base, continuing

their dedication to public service through long careers in Civil Service. In retirement, they

remained active in their community through the National Active and Retired Federal

Employees (NARFE) organization, holding several leadership roles. Marge was also an

active member of the “Ladies of the Shrine”, supporting Foster in his involvement with the

local Shriners.

Marge was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Foster, and her parents, Carl and

Nell Wrigley. She is survived by her sons, John Secord, his wife Kathy, and Troy Secord, his

wife Jeani, grandchildren, Jason Secord, his wife Bethany, and Susan Secord Richardson,

her husband Phillip, great grandchildren, William Richardson and Peyton Secord.

Marge will be remembered for her warmth, strength, and enduring commitment to her

family, faith, and country. There will be a remembrance viewing at Hampton Vaughan

Crestview Funeral Home, 1917 Archer City Hwy, Wichita Falls, TX 76302, on Saturday, May 10, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with a private graveside service at a later time.

In lieu of flowers, please remember Hospice of Wichita Falls that gave her great comfort in

her final days.
