She accepted Jesus as her Savior at the age of 12 and remained a faithful and committed Christian all her life. Margie was a member of the Union Hall Baptist Church since September of 1964. The church was a very special part of her life, and she served the Lord and her church family in almost every avenue of service afforded to her. She always felt blessed to have one of her sons in full-time ministry.

Margie married her soul mate, Donald David Barger, on July 17, 1949. To this union were born two sons, Donald Robert and David Lee. Margie was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother.

Preceding Margie in death were her parents; two young sisters; her sister, Wilma Spoor Caldwell; her husband, Donald David; one son, David Lee; one daughter-in-law, Margaret Allinson Barger; one grandson, Daniel Mark Barger; and one great-grandson, Jeremy John McConville.

All of our lives have been enriched by her love and care for us.
