Margaret Morris Fuqua Obituary (1934

Margaret Morris Fuqua, 83 years young, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours on Monday, August 13, 2018 after a brief illness. Her journey here on earth began December 4, 1934 in Sanger, Texas to parents Billy T. Morris and Mildred Coy. Margaret is an intelligent, patient and compassionate person. She is a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, lovingly serving in many ways. Some of her favorite times of service were in the Washington D.C. and Palmyra, New York Temples. Her quick wit and sharp mind kept everyone on their toes and often laughing, and always feeling loved. She had a special love for babies and could always be seen holding and snuggling a little one. She never ran low on hugs and offered them freely. She married her best friend and eternal love of her life, David Fuqua, on March 15, 1953. They were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple on April 2, 1962. They are a dynamic team and served together in the church in many capacities. With work related transfers for David, together they had the privilege of experiencing life in many places; Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Maryland, Montana, New York and Utah. While she had several office administrative jobs that she loved and was extremely proficient with, her greatest love and sense of accomplishment came from her family. She and David gave their all in raising three daughters, Vicky (Ray) Whitehead, Julie (George) Wells and Jenny (Dean) Barry; both love them dearly. Be it through birth or marriage, she now has 19 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren and counting! Margaret will be remembered for her loving countenance, tenacious spirit, quick wit and her unyielding testimony and love for her Savior, Jesus Christ. She will be sorely missed by her husband, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren who survive her, but her example and light will never dim in their hearts. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Friday, August 17, 2018 at Berg Mortuary, 500 North State Street, Orem, Utah. Friends may call from 10-10:50 a.m. prior to services.
