Margaret was born February 21, 1929 in Kingfisher, Ok to Arley Marion Osburn and Magdelena Anna Elizabeth (Marcus) Osburn, and passed away Tuesday, November 29, 2016.
Margaret was raised in Hennessey, Oklahoma and met the love of her life, LeRoy Wills, in Kremlin, Oklahoma, and they were married March 16, 1957. They were married 45 years before LeRoy passed away in 2002. LeRoy and Margaret were blessed with three daughters, Arlene, Nelda, and Patricia. She worked at Quality Laundry in Enid for many years, until the birth of her second daughter, when she retired to take on the position of “domestic engineer”. Margaret loved to go to auctions and search for unusual items to bring home for her daughters. She enjoyed sprucing her flower beds and loved traveling, taking a trip every summer. One of her favorite things to do was play bingo, playing four or five cards at a time. She also enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren. Margaret’s faith was very important to her. She had a strong relationship with God, and every morning without fail she would spend quiet time drinking coffee and reading her bible.
Margaret is preceded in death by her parents, her husband LeRoy Wills, granddaughter, Rebecca Lynn Carr, two sisters, Goldie Hall and Eva Harper, three brothers, David, Buddy, and Arley John Osburn, and son-in-law Wayne Hawkins.
She is survived by three daughters, Arlene Hawkins, of Enid; Nelda Carr and husband Daryl, of Enid; Patty Meyer and husband Jimmy, of Covington; five grandchildren, Brian Carr, of Enid; John Hawkins and wife Melanie, of Edmond, OK; Valerie Johnson and husband Steven, of Enid; Jared Hawkins, of Enid; Amber Meyer of Covington, OK; one great-grandson, Cooper, who is due in January.
Memorials in Margaret’s name may be made to Dementia Society of America with Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home serving as custodian of the funds.
