I am the niece of Margie Yarbrough,and daughter of her brother, Jimmy Graves. She will forever be remembered. I loved her so very much. She was a beautiful lady, both inside and out. Her smile could make everything better, no matter what you were feeling. She was a shining beacon of this world. I never heard a harsh word from her ever. She loved everyone, and was always very giving with her big heart. I'm so honored to have been a part of her life. She'll be forever missed and loved!!

Around 23 years ago I worked with Mrs. Margie at Baldor Electric. This was a couple of firsts for me, first time to work in a plant and I was a new christian. Mrs. Margie showed by example how to live a christian life. I never heard her say or participate in any unkind words - which often happens in plants. She also showed how a wife is supposed to support her husband and she loved all her children/grandchildren so much. She was so proud of them all. I have always remembered how she made the choice to say something nice or not say anything at all. God has surely received a sweet spirit in Mrs. Margie.

Lois and I were so sorry to hear of Margie’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. God’s word says death is an enemy, and it certainly is. Reading Rev. 21:3, 4 and John 5:25 have always brought us comfort, and hopefully will do the same for you.
