Wow could this woman bake! I loved all the advice she would give. All of the stories she told. Just a wonderful person to be around. I was lucky enough to know her. What a wonderful woman! She will be greatly missed. She will never truly be gone, we all have a piece of her to share.
I met Sister Margie in Belleville in 2009 where they were having church across from my home. Her and Pastor Bill kept inviting my family to come to church and we finally did! Sister Margie made me and my kids feel loved and like we were her family! I believe she helped me to give my life back to the Lord and to be a Christ follower! She was a Godly woman and a very loving and wonderful, caring woman who was loved by everyone who had the pleasure to know her! My children and I are so Blessed to have known her and to be a part of her family! We will forever love Sister Margie and we will miss her more than words can say! May her loved ones have comfort knowing she is resting in Jesus arms in Heaven!
I have known Sis. Wright since we moved to Mooresville the middle of my 7th grade school year. I never heard her speak an unkind word to or about anyone. I remember (wondering) when she lost her son (Timmy)..”She seems so strong, how does she do it? I don’t know how I would make it if I lost a child”. When I lost my son (Alex) to brain cancer in 2005, Sis. Wright always hugged me, told me she loved me and to lean on and trust God because He knows what is best and that it wouldn’t be long until I would see Alex again. Now, as I post this tribute to this beautiful lady I will miss those hugs and hearing those words but I know I will see her again soon. To her loved ones always remember, you will also see her again soon.
Our prayers and heartfelt condolences go out to your family for the loss of your mother
Marge was an amazing woman, an Angel from Heaven with a heart of gold. I will remember her smile the most, she always showed her love and concern for all. Very Thankful that her and Pastire Wright planted the seed to change my daughter Sarah’s life. She took that seed and grew into a beaitiful, loving and caring Christian woman. I loved watching her grow, she changed our lives by taking that seed , by growing from it amd by planting more. I know Marge is smiling down on her family and her friends. She was one of a kind and will be greatly missed. Love you all
So sorry we missed her celebration of life. I just saw this, this morning. Marge was like a mom to me. So many laughs and so many heart changing moments because of her love of Jesus. Such a beautiful friend. Teresa Myer
