Mathew 25:40 tells us “The King will answer them, ‘Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’”

Margaret loved and fed thousands of children over her career and I feel assured she has thousands of crowns laid up for her in heaven.

She is survived by two sons; a brother; five grandchildren; and four nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her husband and parents.

Margaret will be laid to rest with a graveside service on Tuesday July 28, 2015, at 9 a.m. at Greenlawn Gardens Cemetery, with Joe Canon officiating.

Pallbearers will be Richard Dunaway, Ricky Dunaway, Wayne Hearn, Dave Richards, Marce Rutland, Ricky Tew and Doug Christman.

Margaret Dunaway was a good woman, a faithful follower of Christ, a loving wife, a devoted mother, a cherished daughter and sister, and a dear friend. You will be missed and never forgotten. Amen.
