Margarette Noe Overton

On Tuesday, September the eighth, Margarette Izeta Noe Overton left those who loved her so much to be with He who loves her more. Her husband, Carl Overton, held her right hand and told her he loved her as she breathed her last. Her oldest daughter, Marsha Lawson, held her right hand.
Many who loved Margarette would have liked to have been with her during that moment. We have felt their prayers and appreciate their love. Rather than reciting a list of facts that do not do justice to her life and influence, we would like to let some of those who loved her say something about her life and influence, the love they felt when they were with her, why they loved her:
"You have filled my life with love, hope, and cherished times. I love you with all my heart! My one disappointment is a book on the table by the couch about ireland.
