Margaret Theresa Flowers

Margaret dedicated herself to her family with a devotion that knew no bounds. As a mother, she nurtured us with infinite patience, and wisdom that guided us through life’s challenges. She celebrated our triumphs and stood steadfast through our trials, her unwavering belief in us giving us the strength to pursue our dreams. Her role as a grandmother was equally profound. She embraced her grandchildren with an open heart. Her stories, her warm hugs, and her simple joys created cherished memories that will be treasured forever. To them, she was not only a grandmother but a confidante and a friend. As a great-grandmother, Margaret’s love expanded even further, to her only great-grandchild, Addilyn, and the apple of her eye. Margaret was also known for her dedicated work in environmental services at Alliance Health in Madill, Oklahoma. Her commitment to her role and the care she put into her work were deeply appreciated by both her colleagues and the community she served. She was loved by the staff, who admired her kindness, professionalism, and the genuine concern she showed for others. Her positive impact extended beyond her family, leaving a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of working with her. Outside of her professional life, Margaret found joy in gardening and interior decorating. Her love for gardening brought beauty and tranquility to her home, where she took pride in cultivating lush greenery. Her passion for interior decorating transformed her spaces into warm and inviting havens, reflecting her unique style and creative spirit. Through these hobbies, she shared her zest for life and her appreciation for the simple pleasures it offers. Margaret is survived by her daughter Jeanine and husband James (whom she always joked with her children telling them her son-in-law was her favorite child); daughter Elizabeth Flowers; son Edward James Flowers; son Avery Flowers, her grandchildren Andrew and his wife Nancy, Jacob, Israel, and Edward James IV; and her great-grandchild Addilyn. She was preceded in death by her father, Joseph Francis Magurn; her mother, Lilian; her son Joseph; and the father of her children, Edward James Flowers Jr. A memorial service to celebrate Margaret’s remarkable life and legacy will be planned in the future, when the family has had time to grieve and can fully appreciate the celebration of her life with the love and joy she deserves. We will announce the details once the arrangements are made. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to The Tears Foundation (a foundation that helps families pay for funeral arrangements of young children) in Margaret’s honor. Rest in peace, dear Margaret. You were our guiding star, and your love will continue to light our way.
