SHAMROCK - Margaret H. Wofford, 89, died Thursday, March 14, 2002,
in Amarillo.

Memorial services will be at 3 p.m. Sunday in First Baptist Church of
Shamrock with the Rev. Bob Miller, pastor of South Georgia Baptist Church in

active in the children's programs in the church and was a lifetime prayer warrior.

At the time of her death, she was a member of Eleventh Street Baptist Church

was for her savior, Jesus Christ.

She was preceded in death by her husband in 1966; and a son, Eddie Ray

Norman, Okla., and Elizabeth Lee Pepper and husband, J. Dean, of Amarillo;
