Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Dear Dale, Nancy and Bryan, your mother was a special lady that meant so much to Susan and me. Margie was like a second mother to Susan during all those years when Dale and Susan were roommates. We will never forget all of those wonderful years when Margie would invite Susan and me to celebrate Thanksgiving or Easter in Enfield with Ms. Lewis and all of the Stilley family. We are so grateful to have seen Margie at Christmas so that we could give her a big hug and once again hear her contagious laugh. She always had a positive attitude and an open heart that welcomed everyone. Margie Stilley was a beautiful Southern lady and wonderful friend. We are saddened by her passing and we will always cherish the wonderful times we had with Margie. Our hearts and prayers are with Papa John. He like Margie, has always treated Sue and me like family. We love you both. John and Susan Donnee and family
