Margie was born in Anniston, Alabama but moved to Texas in 1962. She graduated with high honors from Anniston High School. She has always been a hard worker, even at a young age. She worked as a car hop at a sandwich shop during high school. Once she moved to Texas, she began working at Buddy Schoellkopf as a Supervisor and retired after 25 years of dedicated service. She married Lee Edward Maxwell, Sr. after high school and remained married for 42 years. After the passing of her first husband, she was reunited with her second husband Kenneth Ford, which she knew in high school. If you knew Margie, then you know she loved her family. She loved to hang out, have a cup of coffee, smoke a cigarette and just visit on the porch with family and friends. She would always say “sit down” and visit. You knew she had her favorite smoke buddy’s. If you are one of them, then you know it meant the world to her. Her favorite thing to do was go gambling with her daughters, Regina & Donna. All they had to do was call & say “momma get ready, we are on our way to get you” and she would be ready to go. Give her a slot machine, a margarita, a cigarette and she was in her element! And….don’t talk about her son in laws Mark & William. She was spoiled by them and they could do “no wrong”. As we celebrate her life & have a margarita toast, she would want us to know she lived a full life and is at peace. Her memories will carry on in our hearts for many years to come. We will never forget our momma & MeMe!
