Annabelle Marie Young is 11 years old and resides with her father, Michael and his wife Tia in Bradford, Illinois. For those of us who knew Margie best, she will be remembered for her outgoing personality. She was a true friend with relationships dating back to her school years. Margie was very talented in sewing and crafts and loved to decorate her home for every holiday with the things she made. Margie loved babies, and she would tell you that to hold a baby was one of life's joys. She collected many things that depicted cats and cats were her favorite pet. Bingo and lunches with friends were special to her and she and Bruce would often travel to attend antique and craft shows to add to their collections. Margie passed away on April 1, 2014 after being in failing health for several years. Chaplain Sandra Johnson of Hospice of Havasu, who was also a personal friend and neighbor, recently Baptized Margie. Chaplain Johnson provided spiritual guidance and prayers during her last days and also to family members at the private service. Besides her son and grandchildren, Margie is survived by several cousins, nieces and nephews. Her nephew, David R. Johnson Sr. and his wife, Stevie, live here in Lake Havasu City. Margie was the last surviving member of her family. She will be missed very much by those of us who knew and loved her.
