She was preceded in death by her loving husband, friend and companion, Bill Greer, four brothers and three sisters. Margaret was a member of the Lebanon Baptist Church. Not only was Margaret a wonderful Mother, she was their hero and one of God's most humble servants. She loved to make you laugh and could sit all day on the dock fishing. She lived the simple life. One of her favorite things to do that gave her such joy was to cook and share her foods with her family and the people she met. There were no strangers to her.
